Effective immediately, the "xibiff" program has been disabled on 
Solaris (Suns) because of a bug that is triggered when xibiff is 
"swallowed" into a panel (afterstep wharf, fvwm2 FvwmButtons, etc.)  
This bug causes it to constantly retrieve new mail information, which 
results in a very high load on our mail server.

Xibiff will be reenabled when the cause of the bug has been found and 
fixed.
