Well, regarding my NFS hang-ups to HP/UX 9.05 and Sunos 4.1.3
systems (this is 2.2.1 as of April 8th).

I replaced my 3c509 with a 3c900 and was able to demonstrate
the same lock up.

It appears to be related to a readdir(), as only ls -l causes
the file system hang.  A 'cat' of large files (quite large)
doesn't seem to have the same effect.

I set the readdirsize down to 1024 with the -I argument on 
the mount, but that didn't seem to affect it.
