Here's a strange bug using nfs & msdos file systems ....

All the files in the target directory come out zero size, when nfs copying 
from one host's /dos to another host's /dos, if target /dos is 755 root.

Detail follows:

With 2 hosts, called `lion' & `vector', with nfs mounts of all directories
such that lion:/dos appears as vector:/host/lion/dos  etcetera...
	(vector runs a 10 day old current, lion about the same,
	the symptom/fault/phenomena has been the same the last few weeks).

  vector ttyp6 9 % pwd
  	/dos2/bin/vsl
  vector ttyp6 8 % tar cf - * | ( cd /host/lion/dos/bin/vsl ; tar xf - )
	< 0 size files created, as said >

I got round the problem with:
  vector ttyp6 10 % tar cf /host/lion/tmp/t *
  lion ttyp1 1 % tar xf /tmp/t

I had to go superuser on `lion' though; as before `su' I got:
  lion ttyp1 9 % tar xf /tmp/t
  	tar: Could not create file cat.exe : Permission denied
  	.... etc ....

Looking further:
  lion ttyp1 6 % pwd ; ls -al | head
  	/dos/bin/vsl
  	drwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   2048 Mar 19 16:21 ./
  	drwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   2048 Mar 19 16:21 ../
  lion ttyp1 8 % cd /dos ; ls -al | head
  	drwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  16384 Jan  1  1980 ./
  	drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel   1024 Mar 19 15:32 ../
  lion ttyp1 11 % cd / ; sx umount /dos ; ls -al 
  	drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel     512 Mar  4 17:27 dos/
  lion ttyp1 14 % sx chmod 777 /dos ; sx mount /dos
  vector ttyp6 11 % tar cf - * | ( cd /host/lion/dos/bin/vsl ; tar xf - )
  lion ttyp1 16 % cd dos/bin/vsl ; ls -l | more
  	-rwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  18285 Nov 17 03:19 addcr.exe*
  	-rwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  17037 Nov 17 03:19 brackets.exe*

PS sx is a little suid 0 program running thing.
