Another 4.2 problem I have noticed -

In the ksh ~ is still broken when using hesiod to look up the username:
  
print ~user

Just prints:

~user

When the user is not in the password file but is in the hesiod database.

Also, although not a bug, NFS breaks when is in more then 8 groups. I think
this was reported before here but I thought it was worth repeating. 4.2
allows someone with up to 32 groups, but trying to NFS mount a pre 4.2
system fails. This showed up after I enabled hesiod, and root ended
up in more then 8 groups.
