Just to let you all know that the infamous "blocks of zeros in a.out files 
written over NFS" problem is now striking with monotonous regularity on 
contemporary systems. Specifically:

Client: A/UX 2.0 running of Mac IIcx with 4 or 8 Meg of memory,
        Apple Ethernet cards

Server: Sun SPARCStation SLC with Wren7 disks, SunOS 4.1

If the person from Athena who said "Yes, we sent Apple our fixes for this ages 
ago" would care to send those fixes to me (I have a current NFS source 
licence) then I'll try to produce an installable module which patches those 
fixes in.
