I notice that you put that in there as part of a bunch of other fixes, 
none of which have a synopsis that indicates that it was a fix for this 
problem!

I think it would still be helpful to have the STAFFER variable commented 
out in the nightly environment files, particularly since $STAFFER is 
really only useful for teamware when nightly was being run as root.
