When I do a "rup" of a next machine from a Sun (OS version 3.5 or 4.0)
or BSD 4.3 Vax, I get bogus info in the "up time" and "load average"
fields, e.g.,

sun% rup next
next   up 7107 days, 19:04,    load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

The inverse situation yields

next% rup sun
sun: RPC: Can't decode result

This occurs on three different NeXT systems.  All three can 
"rup" each other correctly.  Has anyone got a fix to let
the NeXT work better with Suns or Vaxes?
