 Unfortunately, the bug has resurfaced.  I cvsup'd shortly after
 midnight on 12/23/98, installed the new update, and get the same
 behavior (on an otherwise stock 3.0 system):
 
 {beach} /usr/bin# ident uptime
 uptime:

 In particular, this mildly breaks one of the Big Brother scripts,
 which is how I stumbled across the bug...
