What version of Sun's O/S are these sparcstations running.  We've
discovered a bug in Sun's NFS implementation on Solaris2.4 (and,
apparently, 2.5 as well!) which, on a PURE SUN network generates the SAME
problems.  This is with a CADD5 application saving Multi-Megabyte files to
a SparcServer1000 (running Solaris 2.5 at this time).  The problem has
been reported to Sun and "they are working on it!".  Don't have the BugID.
