Most likely Matt's system finally noticed that the TST linux binaries are
no longer on valen; I moved them back to kochab to reduce the complexity
of the system (said complexity being mostly my own fault; sorry).

There were significant and hard-to-trace NFS and/or Automount (amd) issues
with using an AIPS_ROOT exported from kochab and a LOAD area accessed viaa
symlink to an amd-automounted (/net/valen/...) area.  These really showed
up on the new visitor workstations (which now have their own private AIPS
installs, slaved off valen via Midnight Jobs; Eric, you might want to
update your list to reflect this).
