I had a truely annoying problem earlier today, Files in my network were
being temporarly replaced with files of the right length and date/time.
These files were filled with the string "I'm out running around", and were
padded to length with nulls.

I get the impression that the replacement part is a known problem with
Sun-NFS.  Can anyone out there tell me what the problem is?  And, what
causes it to be set off?

Also, I am very curious where the message "I'm out running around" comes
from.  I'm running 4.0.3c on about 40 Sun's mostly SPARC Stations and
386i's.  The main server is a 4/390.
