While I applaud Dell's efforts, I must be honest an say that they
only reason I discovered this bug was that I tried to install
*production* SVR3.2  code on SVR4 so I code tell the Sales droids
that it would work.  And it didn't.  installpkg shell was run
immediately after login in as root.  Apparently, with sh.
At least on HC? and ATT.  No doubt, Dell is more aware.
And, if ISC, as Principle Publisher, has this bug, we'll all
have a good laugh. :-)  Can't wait! SVR4 3.0 is history. Lets
go for 4.
