	Stale fhandles crippled our Vax as we have 12 Suns sharing the
mail and home directories via NFS.  You can imagine what happened when
10 or 20 engineers tried to compile, readnews, or otherwise access the
VAX exported filesystems.
	We didn't actually load 2.3 straight out.  After hearing the 
horror story from DEC's csc, after they tried to load 2.3 on top of
a 2.2 OS with the bugfix and DECNET installed, we went back to the
2.0 tapes and then to 2.2 without the bugfix, then upgraded to 2.3 .
Results have been favorable.
