The sticky bit has been redefined for Sun OS 4.0 :
It now means not to cache write blocks and is used for NFS swap partitions
to prevent blowing up the page cash on a server.
Do not use it on executable files. (The only file on a 3.x Release with
the sticky bit turned on was vi which now has 755)
The manual pages are *wrong* in case of executable files !!!!
For directories have a look at the manual page: man 8 sticky.
