Yeah, that happens.  It can definitely be frustrating,
especially since 
because you don't know what caused it, you haven't the
foggiest whether 
it'll be back and when. =8^(  However, I've come to the
conclusion that 
sometimes you just don't look that horse in the mouth, and
chances are, 
it'll be your trusty steed for some time. =8^)

BTW, had a list connectivity glitch and didn't get this
reply tacked on 
your last post, but re: Irix/Solaris mode, it seems the
manpage says the 
reverse of what it actually does.  Having never used either
of the named 
platforms, I can't say whether the manpage or the app is
correct in what 
it claims for the modes, but yes, Irix mode ON seems to
result in what 
the manpage calls Solaris mode, while Irix mode OFF results
in what the 
manpage calls Irix mode.  So at least that part isn't unique
to your 
(old) system, as that's the way it works here as well.
