I try to do the following from a DN3000 running SR 9.2.5, Domain/IX 9.2,
and TCP 9.2(?):

	tar cBf - src_dir | rsh vax 'cd dest_dir; tar xBf -'

I get a checksum error from the remote tar.  I've also tried substituting
various combinations of explicit blocking factors in place of the "B" option
to no avail.  Not that I expect it to make any difference, but the DN3000
is going through a gateway DN560 to the ethernet to an Ultrix 1.2 VAX.

This kind of pipe works with real Unix boxes of both SysV and 4bsd
persuasions.  Why doesn't it work under Domain/IX?  (No cutesy replies
about Apollos not being real Unix boxes, please -- I'm already convinced
of that).
