There is a bug in SysVR3 that will not allow one to use a relative
path as an argument to df [devnm() does a chdir() to search the /dev
directory for devices but never chdir()s back]. This code has propagated
itself to SysVR4-k15. It may be fix in later k-loads.
Pax, Keith
Ps, you can specify absolute path names to df in SysVR3 with no ill effects.
