I've got another one.  As part of SysV, AT&T in their infinite wisdom
decided to move the mail spool directory from /usr/spool/mail to
/usr/lib/mail.  Seemed like a strange move to me, with no obvious benefits
but, hey, it was their baby.  They can do as they wish.

SCO comes along and decides to move it back to /usr/spool/mail.  This means
that it is no longer safe to install mailers on SCO systems since the
install programs will assume that SCO is SysV UNIX and default to the
SysV standard.

I'm not sure who I'm more pissed at -- AT&T for deciding to 'fix' something
that wasn't broken, or SCO for deciding that they knew the 'right' way
to do things -- thereby creating Pseudnix (I love that word).
