Oh, sorry.  I thought folks were out of town for the weekend and figured
you'd pick it up Monday.  Thanks for giving it CPR!

If an element of that structure was missing, why wouldn't there have been
a compile-time error?  At any rate, I tried it.  No change in behavior.

When I try to 'cd' into /afs (or anything beneath) it spits out a "Not a
directory.." error.

Was there intended to be a companion change to the program logic?
