/etc/shadow edits fail when /etc/vfstab edits occur

[Anne Cross]

We're using Solaris 8, and upgraded cfengine from 2.1.0p1 to 2.1.11,
with Berkeley DB 3.3.11.  On Solaris 9, we had a similar problem going
from 2.1.10 to 2.1.11, same Berkeley DB.  The Sol8 version was compiled
with gcc 2.95.3, the Sol9 with gcc 3.4.0.
                                                                                
The following partial config worked before the upgrade, but does not
work now.  I've attached the -d1 output from running cfagent against
this partial config.
