recall the earlier discussion about problems with random process
deaths on SCO if the process executable is run over NFS.

a fix for this is to mount your nfs partition as follows:

	mount -f NFS,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 host:path path

this forces a block transfer size of 1k instead of the default 8k.

if anyone out there tries this and it *doesn't* work, please get
back to me.  aloha!
