Thanks to
stern@sunne.East.Sun.COM
casper@fwi.uva.nl
Martyn.Johnson@cl.cam.ac.uk
guy@auspex.com
glenn@uniq.com.au
for their quick answers and the fix.
As Guy Harris noted, a server shouldn't crash, even if it receives
stupid requests, or requests it doesn't understand.
==> So there's a bug in Ultrix.
It turns that Sun changed something (Martyn Johnson)
:: The problem was provoked by Sun reading directories with a non-standard
:: blocksize. This is unusual, but perfectly legal. There is a fix for
:: Ultrix.
So if you have the problem, just ask DEC to send you the fix.
It did it and I'll receive the patch in a few days.
