If this is what I think it is, it is the problem that when /srvd is
present and /urvd is not, the test for whether or not an update has
been performed fails (since things like find and grep are used - these
are on /urvd - take a look at /srvd/auto_update for exact information)
and the update is performed. /srvd remains mounted when zwgc is still
running - a common occurence. Thus most workstations in public
clusters will get multiple updates. This problem has been reported
before at least twice.
