Thanks to Geoff for the quick followup. . .and the accurate diagnosis.

The good news is that adding a "nobody" entry to the NIS map produces
consistent results.

The other news is that the entry can't be the
	nobody:*:65534:65534::/:
line of SunOS 4.1.1's /etc/passwd file; you get to use
	nobody:*:-2:-2::/:
to get consistent "ls -l" output on PCs.
