We are in the process of converting from 4.2BSD to 4.3BSD and have run into a problem with RFS (a excellent system for the price by the way). If we execute a program on a remote system we crash with a segmentation fault. This problem was in the 4.2 version but there was a simple fix. In 4.3 it seems to be slightly different and is caused by dereferencing a null ip pointer in getxfile() in kern_exec.c (rather than in iput() as in 4.2). Before I spend more time on this I thought I would ask other 4.3 sites that use RFS what the fix is if it has been found before.
