I had a problem on a cluster of systems that for some reason ended up
with multiple different UID's for the same application. I did not know
why it happened.. but it caused me enough problems cleaning it up it
got on my bad list. [This was early on in FUM so I expect I hit a
bug.]

I then ran into a problem where I needed to have various FE items
working on RHEL-2,3,4 systems. Running into the fact it used items not
supported by those OS's added more to my dis-temper.
