We are having some problems with the HP Sun RPC port.  We have
observed that for some (not all) RPCs, the call to clnttcp_create
will hang.  Execution traces revealed that the call to malloc was
hanging.  Also, there have been some problems with sending broadcast
RPCs.  Apparently, the program must be setuid to root in order to do
this, which is not the case on Suns.
