We encountered this same problem here at Fluke.  Our Sun PAL support
person was unable to duplicate the problem.  The problem went away once we
upgraded our servers and workstations to the SunOS 4.0.3 release.

Have you installed any of the serial communications patches that Sun made
available for SunOS 4.0.1?  We started encountering the streams problem
AFTER we installed some of the patches distributed by Sun.

You should probably bite the bullet and consider upgrading your systems to
SunOS 4.0.3.  Good luck.
