Erm, that's an editor bug. You can always hit such issues in other
context but (IMO) that doesn't make the concept of /etc/inet/ invalid
(at some point it may be intersting to put things like /etc/hosts and
other related *BSD symlinks into a seperate "SUNWoldbsdartifacts"
package to (brand-)mark them as such).
