[lug] Postfix, hash, and unsupported dictionary types....

[D. Stimits]

If one command says hash is available, but another can't find it,
perhaps the file or module providing the support is inaccessible due to
path or permissions? I assume each of those map types is a dynamically
loadable module, which is very similar between linux and solaris.
