	I recently got the above error on an NFS Client at the same
	time I attempted to execute the /usr/ucb/w command on the client.
	The "w" file turned out to be pointing at a man page file.

% which w
/usr/ucb/w
% file `which w`
/usr/ucb/w:	[nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text

	An ls -il of the file from both the server and the client showed
the same inode and after the 4th or fifth time the w command executed
correctly.

% file `which w`
/usr/ucb/w:	sparc demand paged dynamically linked set-gid executable

	I'm running a Sun 4/280 server & 4/60 clients.

	Has anyone seen this sort of thing happen? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe
