You are right, file systems were not unmounted, and I doubt that they 
were synced either.  They had to be fscked when the system came back up.

I did not run it as root.  Sorry, I should have said that before.

It is a little hard to trace their maze of shell scripts to figure out 
which binary was being run, but if I am looking at the right one, it is 
dynamically linked and branded SVR4.  I will make sure later today.
