Nope, it is confined to rpc.rstatd; sar -d (which has very
similar code) works fine on the failing systems.  It affects
sysmeter, and rup, and probably a few local apps here and there,
but they are all in the nature of things that are sort of nice
to have, but not criticl.

| BTW: When IS "the next major release"?

The announced IRIX 5.0 is 'sometime in calendar 93', and nothing
more concrete than that, as far as I know.
