We have a new DECstation 5000/200 running Ultrix v3.1D (rev 54). It currently has 8mb of memory and an RZ55 disk. Sometimes, when we do a man command (among others), the process appears to hang - the man command generates no output, the echo has been turned off, but you can get control back by typing ^C. The system is running fine during this time - other people can do things. We've also seen this behaviour when logging in - people get the motd and then nothing. They're stuck at that point, and have to try to log in again (which sometimes works). We've checked some obvious things - disk space (plenty), memory (ok from what we can see via vmstat), etc. This system is getting it's user disk space off of a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 3.1 (via NFS), if that makes any difference. If anyone has any bright ideas on how to clear this up, I'd appreciate hearing them!
