Hello!  I am running CAP via a Multigate on a SPARCstation 1 (Sun, that is).
One of my users just brought a _very_ odd problem to me.  He has a volume of
another user mounted, with all appropriate write permissions.  MS Word
is on a locked server volume.

He opens a document in the other user's directory, edits it, and tries to
save.  He gets (on his plus) a system error, on my Mac II a "Serious
disk error, can't save".  A "Save As" to the other user's directory fails
as well.  Yet, the group has (on the directory and the files) rwx privileges.

Now for the real weirdness.  If I log in as him, link the same volumes, but
use the copy of Word on my hard disk, everything works.  I copied that version
to the locked volume, tried again.  "Serious disk error."  

On his own volume, everything works fine.

If anyone has ever seen this before, or has any idea what is going on, I'd
appreciate hearing about it!

Thanks in advance,
