I have a NeXTstation (non-Turbo) with NeXTSTEP 3.0, 20MB RAM,  400MB  disk.
The  NeXT is our File Server and is exporting its entire disk. This disk is
being NFS mounted from a bunch of client UNIX machines in our LAN (none  of
them  is  a  NeXT).  THE  PROBLEM:  each time I execute a shell script in a
client machine to create a big archive file (ar) in the exported  disk,  my
NeXT  either  freezes  or  enters  panic  mode.  In this last case, I get a
message in "/usr/adm/messages" that says "unexpected page fault".

Details:

The NeXT's exported disk is  being  mounted  as  "/server"  in  all  client
machines. I login to one of client machines and do the following:

	bash$ cd /server
	bash$ sh -x script

were "script" contains around 150 lines that look as follows:

	ar alv archive.a file.o

I know this could be done using one "ar"  command,  but  this  is  not  the
point.  Also,  the "l" options makes "ar" create its temporary files in the
current directory, in other words the NeXT NFS mounted disk "/server".  The
resulting  archive  file  is  close  to  2MB in size. THE RESULT: somewhere
around the middle of the script my NeXT freezes or enters panic mode.

I would appreciate any help in this matter,
