I've noticed a strange problem on a platform running SCO Unix 3.2.4.2
with TCP v1.2.1.  If I try a rcp or rcmd (also known as rsh on some
other varieties of Unix) from another machine onto this platform, it
would just hang.  I found that there was an outgoing rcp that was
"stuck" (stayed on the system for several hours) on this platform 
and as soon as I killed it off, everything would return to normal.

-I already checked streams usage- no overflows/failures.
-Rlogin and telnet still worked even when rcp/rcmd failed.

Anyone have some ideas as to why this is happening?
