I can't picture it confusing disk$user with user--that'd just be wrong. I
can see it thinking the drive volume was USER, though, and getting that
mixed up with the system-level logical USER.
If that's it, I don't know that I'd class it as either a VMS or perl
bug--more a "don't do that" sort of thing. (Like deassigning SYS$COMMON,
say...) We ought to see if there's some way to detect that, though. Maybe
have configure check the name of the volume it's mounted on and look for a
logical with the same name and yell if its found.
