OK, that's good: it's a systematic error, the Unixware server doesn't
like certain messages. The next step would be to try to distill it down
to a small script, and then recompile nfs client with all the debugging
turned on. Hopefully the messages will give me a clue as to the
problem. (Or maybe it's a Unixware bug :-))
Do the Unixware docs have anything to say about "bad getargs"?
