Yes you are quite right.  I don't need to do this on Solaris 7,  and as I 
stated in my earlier email (some 3 or 4 weeks back) I believe this is a system 
configuration problem we have here.  I just haven't been able to track this 
one down at the moment and this is a quick and dirty fix that should work.

Cheers,
