We are running the NFS/AFS translator on a Sun running SunOS 4.1 and
the problem exists there as well. So it is not Ultrix specific.
The system I diagnosed the problem on was a DECstation 5000/120 running
Ultrix 4.2. This problem shows up on a "find" command as well. I
suspect it has something to do with how AFS "traps" the stat() system
call and passes it on to either NFS or UFS. Transarc can probably
provide input on/correct this assumption.
