	We have a mixed IRIS/SUN environment (IRIX3.2.1/SUN OS3.5).  When
one does a "du" on an IRIS-owned NFS-mounted file system from a
SUN, the number of bytes is wrong.  Usually, it is only a small fraction
of what is truly there.

	I am aware of the bytes/blocks distinction between the two machines.
(ie.  IRISes measure things in 512 byte blocks).  This disparity is much
worse than that.  There is *definitely* something amiss.  Is there a fix?
