	Try "sar 2 9999" or any continuous output parameter.
	Runs for either 8 or 16 iterations then core dumps. 
	AT&T says "oops, use the older version."
	Also, a number of commands produce erroneous output, consisting
	of a "." followed by 5-16 numbers where an integer is expected.
	Also, sag -Ttek has *never* worked.  Outputs numbers in the
	middle of the graph instead of lines and points.  Depends
	on the -s and -e times and how much data there is.
