Subject: AIX 4.2 lquerylv

    [The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set]
    [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set]
    [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly]

There is a buffer overflow in /usr/sbin/lquerylv which spawns a root shell
under AIX 4.2, probably 4.x,3.x.
SOLUTION: #chmod -s /usr/sbin/lquerylv
Tested on AIX 4.2 RS/6000 box.
