I called Sun about this one, and they said: "use /usr/lib/atrun from the
Sun OS 3.4 distribution."  This does indeed fix the problem.

Interestingly enough, I compiled the 4.3BSD atrun to try and fix this, and
it died with exactly the same error.  I fixed it by changing the scanf
calls slightly to make the format less strict about string lengths.  I
suspect that Sun incorporated the 'at' distribution from 4.3BSD, but their
scanf is slightly different.  This indicates something about Sun QA, I'm
afraid...
