	Both 3.0 and 2.2.8.

>Description:

New installations do not install /var/msgs/bounds file.
Enabling `msgs -f' in either /etc/profile or /etc/cshrc
causes $Synopsis to be displayed every time user logs in.
According to msgs(1):

| The file /var/msgs/bounds shows the low and high number of the messages
| in the directory so that msgs can quickly determine if there are no
| messages for you.  If the contents of bounds is incorrect it can be fixed
| by removing it; msgs will make a new bounds file the next time it is run.
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This bug was introduced in revision 1.10, and then merged
into RELENG_2_2 in revision 1.8.2.2.


>How-To-Repeat:

Remove /var/msgs/bounds.
Run `msgs'.
