>Description:
	While my original complain from bin/2282 (systat subcommands
	don't work) is fixed now, systat now says for *every* unknown
	command "Ambigous command" (And I still like my original fix
	better then the current one).

	The patch appended is an updated version of my patch in bin/2282.
	I was curious how this ever could have worked and looked at
	the original 4.4BSD-lite code. The 4.4BSD-lite code seems
	to have my patch applied ... :-) Does anyone know why this was
	changed at all?
