I am having the same problem with the same version ....
Running on:
1-  Solaris 9 , Perl 5.6.1
2- Solaris 8, Perl 5.005_03

It only prints the following:

# location.conf file was autogenerated on Friday May 21 17:48:01 GMT 2004.
# Script completed processing on Friday May 21 17:48:05 GMT 2004

    Scott,
    Can you give a better description? What exactly is your problem.
    I have used the script a number of times with no problems on

    you running into thats causing a problem?
