The UUCP map for autodesk (in u.usa.ca.2) advertises a UUCP link:

	autodesk	vector(DEDICATED)

Unfortunately, this vector is in Switzerland.  It is unrelated to the
real vector registered by Dallas Semiconductor years ago.  This causes
pathalias (on cs.utexas.edu, at least) to route vector's mail like this:

	vector		uunet!autodesk!vector!%s

Worse, because the link is DEDICATED, letni's mail (and the 288 routes
through letni!) gets routed into the Swiss bit bucket via
autodesk!vector!letni.  Groan.

The autodesk administrator has already sent in a corrected map entry, but
you'all may wish to edit your maps until the new version gets fielded.
