With an NFS 2.2 client on an Apollo 400S running Domain OS, SR10.3,
I try to write a file that just so happens to be 1929 bytes long
on a Vax running Multinet 2.2 and VMS 5.2.  I/O error....Now subtract
a byte and retry....It works....Or, add a few bytes to make it 1933
bytes....It works.  Has someone programmed the great depression into
NFS?  I'm certainly depressed.  Can anyone replicate this behavior?

Now I am assuming, perhaps unfairly, this to be a client problem.
I just sent TGV (Multinet vendor) a TCP/IP trace that will hopefully
localize the problem.  I'll let you know if it turns out to be a
Multinet NFS server problem.

Thanks
