When using the latest CSD for IBM's NFS I keep getting copy errors when
copying files from SCO Unix to OS/2 or vice-versa. The errors only
appear on the SCO box and are:

        WARNING: xdr_union: dscmp FAILED        | Repeated five
        WARNING: xdr_rdresult: decode FAILED    | times

        WARNING: NFS read failed for server xxxx: CANT DECODE RES

The problem does not appear on the previous NFS CSD.

The resulting file is not the correct length, e.g. for a copy of
/unix to an OS/2 NFS mounted FAT partition:

1> l /unix
-r--r-----   1 bin      mem      1148095 May 17 21:53 /unix
2> l /c/unix
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root     1147904 Jul 03 11:41 /c/unix

The mount as speficied in /etc/default/filesys on the SCO box is:

bdev=dos486:c:/ mountdir=/c rcmount=no mount=yes fstyp=NFS \
	nfsopts=soft,rsize=4096,wsize=4096
