If you are using SunOS 4.1.x on NFS file server, I think I have.  BTW, Auspex
and some other file servers might be using SunOS kernels too.  SunOS is fatally
broken in its handling of locks over NFS using rpc.lockd and/or rpc.statd.
Other OS like HP-UX and Solaris 2.x appear to work fine.  Sun said they will
NEVER fix this in SunOS 4.1.x.

You can use the following options passed to CC:
-Wr,-ptl
-Wi,-ptl

These options turn off locking of the ptrepository so beware of simulataneous
updates causing corruption, etc.  However, your hangs over NFS should go away.
