our server machine keeps crashing. it is a microvax running 4.3 + nfs

in bringing up the packet filter, we had to change the call to MCLGET
in enet.c because the distributed code (for 4.2) called MCLGET with 2
arguments and the macro definition for 4.3 + nfs has only one argument.
we're not sure this got fixed correctly. If anybody else has added the filter
to a 4.3 + nfs configuration, would they be kind enough to help us with
getting the change correct. it is at about line 580 of vaxif/enet.c 

a snapshot of that area of the fixed code or a diff between enet.c in the V
distribution and enet.c as it is working on your system would be appreciated.

on the other hand, if you know of a DIFFERENT reason why our server might be
crashing, we're all ears.

thanks...
