[comp.os.minix] Help! cp corrupts files.

Help.

Here at UNH we have a couple of machines running MINIX 1.2 in the 
Computer Engineering Dept. The problem is that they like to crash!

Most often the crash seems to happen when trying to do a cp. Even when
cp finishes without crashing the cp'ed version of the file is often
corrupted. I don't think the problem is with the code for cp, it looks
ok. 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh Yeah the machines we are  running MINIX on are Zenith Z241's. They are
IBM AT compatibles (at least Zenith claims they are).
