- Nope, it is confined to rpc.rstatd; sar -d (which has very
- similar code) works fine on the failing systems. It affects
- sysmeter, and rup, and probably a few local apps here and there,
- but they are all in the nature of things that are sort of nice
- to have, but not criticl.
-
- | BTW: When IS "the next major release"?
-
- The announced IRIX 5.0 is 'sometime in calendar 93', and nothing
- more concrete than that, as far as I know.
