It is impossible to read on a remote (non-apollo) host via nfs
a big apollo file for which 'ls -l' gives problems.

I have reported in previous postings that this may be the case
for some very big files in an apollo directory.
Both local 'ls -l' and a remote 'ls -l' via nfs cannot list such
big files, and crash the rgy daemon and/or nfs.

Since such big files are generated on our DSP10020, and have to be
processed further on remote (non-apollo) machines via nfs without
duplication on remote disks, this situation is totally unacceptable.
