I have a Sun 3/60 running SunOS 4.0.3 and a Vax 8350 running Ultrix
3.0.  I have bash 1.02 as my login shell on both machines.  I was
successful in rcp'ing /usr/dict words from the sun to the vax and from
the vax to the sun.  I can't reproduce this rcp problem.

Perhaps that narrows it down to a Sun 4 problem?
