[ Bug: anybody can create file with sticky-bit.
  Leo de Wit found the bug under Ultrix 2.0.
  Joe Bob Willie reports no bug on Plexus.
  Paul Vixie finds bug on Ultrix 2.x, but it is not present on
  the Ultrix 1.2 and 4.3BSD systems he tested.
  Robert Evans says that SunOS 3.5 has it. ]

I tested the following systems:
Pyramid OSx 4.0:	 Bug present
Sequent Dynix 3.0.4:	 Bug present
VAX 4.3BSD:		 Bug not present
VAX 4.3BSD+NFS (MtXinu): Bug present
Sun SunOS 3.4.2		 Bug present

All the systems were the bug has been found have NFS. None of the
systems that don't have the bug have NFS. Draw your own conclusions
from that.
