I received information from both BSD Unix and Sun sites that they had
the same problem and that contacting RTI tech support resulted in a
fixed version.  This appears to have been the problem for me as well.
I just received a uuencoded fixed version in my email.  On one of my
queries that was a real dog, here are the results of the docopy phase:

old docopy:	481.62 seconds
new docopy:	  1.93 seconds

A rather dramatic improvement.  I'm very pleased.  Thank you, RTI
tech support.

Yours,
