Subject: heads up: pay no attention to the SCCS Noise behind the curtain

If you're still using Teamware, then your nightly mail_msg will probably
now contain the following:

This is legitimate SCCS Noise.  It has been in your nightly.log for a
long, long time.  It has not appeared previously in your mail_msg because
a regular expression in nightly.sh incorrectly contained an extra space.

If you see OTHER instances of SCCS Noise, they're likely wrong.

But the ones above may be safely ignored, and will magically go away in
build snv_97.
