We have run across a Solaris 8 system that will hang the TCP connection
whenever we try to rcp in the attached 60 byte file from any other system.
The system administrator is not very responsive so I don't know if he has
contacted Sun about it or not yet, and I don't have easy access to another
Solaris 8 system. There must be something special about the data because
it started out in another portion of a larger file (first noticed by rsync)
and we were able to narrow it down to this small piece. I also don't know
if there is any special networking hardware on this machine, all I know is
that it is an Enterprise 450 with dual processors.
