We have been unable to get access to a BDS file system on which to try
to duplicate this problem.  NCAR's Scientific Computing Division used
to run BDS on a HIPPI interface, but not any more.  To make any
progress on debugging this, we would need login access to a system
with BDS so we could build it and figure out what's wrong.

Can you get us access to a remote login on an SGI system where we
could try to duplicate the problem?
