Yep, happens here too. Don't know what causes it. I can make a guess of course. It looks like names starting with 'something:' are interpreted as meaning go to machine 'something'... (just a guess). My machine is a Microvax II running the ninth edition Unix. The ksh was taken from "alice" and is dated February 29, 1989.
