SQL 2005: sp_attach_db doesn't add db to sysdatabases?

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

I have a database that I rename to _Old, then I detach it so I can rename the data & log files. I reattach it, but when I try to find it in master..sysdatabases, it's not listed. I even did a "Select * from sysdatabases" and can't see it.

But it shows up in SSMS no matter how many times I refresh. How weird is this?

Anyone have a clue as to what's going on?

Thanks,
