- Yes, this rings a bell. We had this same problem here a couple
- of months back. Turned out to be a timing problem with NFS between
- our Suns and HPs. We were running both 8.05 and 8.07 at the time.
- I may be mistaken, but it seems like there was a patch available
- for this -- we've applied so many I can't remember that far back.
