WIth a current working directory on some (not all) NFS filesystems, attempting
to run DOS Merge yields the following kernel error message:

01:59:54 Inode too large to represent in short 137756673

On an attempt to run DOS, about 17 of these messages are spewed out
on the console terminal, with the last number being incremented by
one or two each time.  DOS fails to run.

Anyone else see this?  What was the solution offered by IBM?
