The only problem I found when using RFS of AT&T V/386 Release 3.2.2 was
that the system paniced when a remote streams file was accessed. This
occured to me when I had remote mounted /usr from the server and then tried
to copy that filesystem to my local filesystem. It paniced when the file
/usr/nserve/nspip was accessed.

Sometimes the server panics immediately, sometimes a while after.
