When you try to run a command such as:

rcp /usr/demo/SOUND/sounds/bubbles.au somehost:/dev/audio

where somehost is a SparcStation 1 running SunOS 4.1.1 the SParcStation
crashes with a panic message and reboots.

THis problem can be partially avoided by adding a line such as

/dev/console	0600	/dev/audio:/dev/audioctl

but if you are logged in onto the somehost console the crash is still
possible.  Did anyone encountered such a bug. Is there a fix?

Thanks in advance
