ObLameButCantThinkOfAnythingElseHack:
We're running NeXTstep in our lab, with a Login Manager installed to
keep people from using the boxes too often. After nosing around a bit,
I found the application and started it to see what'd happen. Surprisingly,
it crashed and took the first instance with it... Of course I put a call
to it into my .login.
