I have applied SGI patch 3800 to the r/w sgi_65 os image in the dev cell,
and updated the r/w install volume accordingly.

This patch fixes a critical NFS3 client bug, which has apparently caused
some cases of data corruption here.

The version script for applying the patch is as follows:

#!/bin/sh

case "$HOSTTYPE" in
sun4)
	;;

sgi)
	# Install patch 3800 locally.
	echo "i patchSG0003800.nfs_sw.nfs"	>> "$LOCALPACKAGES.patches"
	;;
esac



This should go into 8.3.24.

The following dev cell volumes need to be released/propagated when
8.3.24 goes to the dev/athena cell:

system.sgi_65.os
system.sgi_65.usr
system.sgi_65.inst

[I still need to test a re-install against the new volumes, and will
do so Tuesday.]

Bob
