- On my SGI Indy running unix, when my current directory is an nsf served disk,

- macon 40# emacs
- emacs: `getwd' failed: getwd: can't stat ..

- Is this problem fixed in a later version? If so, is there somewhere that I
- can FTP the newer binary? Thanks.
This usually happens if the the permissions on the directory underlying a
mountpoint are more restrictive than those in the mountpoint (i.e. the file
system directory root) itself.
Unmount the file system and check that the directory (on the client) does
not have more restrictive permissions than the exported directory.
