I've just added the following to notebook/problems; this preprint may be
of help to people saddled with Ultrix...
.SH
staleness vs. Ultrix
.PP
Several Ultrix users have reported a problem with the ``staleness''
command.
It seems Ultrix's sed is an antique and blows up on the complex
regular expression in staleness.
A fix, at some small cost in performance, is to change the last four lines
of staleness to something like
.DS
exec awk '$1 == "/expired/" { print "-o", $3 }' $NEWSCTL/explist
.DE
