We are running SunOS 4.0.3 and have been having problems with lockd for
quite some time, in particular, it crashes, leaving every process which
attempts to do file locking hung.  We have installed the (apparently) most
recent Sun patch (the one that fixes bugs 1020255 and 1012118), but that
doesn't help much at all.

This situation is completely unacceptable, given the amount of money we
have spent on our systems.  When is Sun going to get the basic Unix
facilities working, rather than merely charging for them?
