Achates is an RT running 7.0E.
Hecate is a VAX running 7.0E (mkserv ops nfs).
The command "rcp hecate:<filename> <filename>" fails when run on
achates, if the remote file is about 1 megabyte or larger. The error
message is
% rcp hecate:/tmp/foo /usr/tmp/foo2
rcp: protocol screwup: expected control record
It appears the entire file is actually copied. No error is printed if
I use a different 7.0 VAX.
