Problem:
This issue has been reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# BHAL6MUSSS and
fixed in Domino 7.0.2. Refer to the Upgrade Central site for details on
upgrading Notes/Domino.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 7.0.2 fix list (available at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus):
SPR# BHAL6MUSSS - Fixed a bad comparison in the startup script which resulted
in 2 files being erroneously created (a 4, and a 1). This regression was
introduced in 7.0.1.
The error occurs when the startup script attempts to create these erroneous
files named 4 and 1 again after the intial run. It occurs only for Domino
7.0.1 running on an AIX platform.

You can use one of the following workarounds until upgrading:
Delete the files named "4" and "1" before starting the server.

Modify the default startup script to skip the files named 4 and 1, as follows:

Edit the file /opt/lotus/bin/tools/startup

Change the text shown in bold. In each case, use '-gt' rather than '>' to do
the comparison. Because the > is interpreted by ksh as a pipe, the result is
the creation of a file in the current directory. If the server's ID is unable
to create (or overwrite) this file, the script fails.
