>How-To-Repeat:

	Get yourself connected somewhere with SLIP.

	Decide that you want another package now that you're up.

	Notice /stand/bindist.  Run it.  Try an escape, really!  It's
	hard to leave once you've said that you're connected by SLIP
	and it starts asking questions.   "Cancel" doesn't work.

	You'll notice that your slip link was clobbered unless you 
	re-enter all the information about it.
