- We ran into this devilish little problem recently. It appears
- to be an NFS file locking problem (bug? who said bug?!?!).
- It's been reported to HP, and was being investigated. I'm no
- longer involved with this particular problem, so I don't have
- reference numbers handy, I'm afraid.
-
- Anyway, report it to your HP service people, and if they drag their feet,
- insist that they check it out with the US Response Center.

- For grins, try elm. It sometimes works when the others won't.
