While waiting for krb5 to configure, I did a slew of testing to figure
out the scope of this problem. I found:
* It doesn't affect rcp between different machines.
* It does affect 8.2.9 machines.
* It doesn't affect non-encrypted rcp.
* It does affect rcp without the -p option.
* It doesn't affect speed-queen (a krb4 machine).
* It does affect the Solaris 2.5 krb4 rcp client.
* It doesn't happen every time, just close to always. (So all
of the "it doesn't" statements have some amount of doubt,
though I did check them multiple times.)
Only the server should be able to tell the difference between the
target being a directory or not. So it's most likely a problem with
v4rcp.c. We'll see (I hope).
