[comp.sys.isis] Isis interaction with SUN portmapper

tim@capmkt.COM (Tim Edwards) (03/15/90)

isis seems to have a nasty interaction with the sun supplied portmapper, 
i.e. whenever i zap all of the isisi on the net with "isis -Z" the portmapper
on at least one of the sun 3/80's on the net will suddenly die. The machine
must be rebooted to recover from this.  The portmapper on the 3/x80 series
seems to be very fragile, and often dies randomly, but the zap will get at
least one of them every time.  this also happens at a customer site that
runs a 3/480, although not as frequently. none of the other suns are
affected.

has anyone else observed this behavior?  know of any fixes or work arounds?
the SUNOS gods here are persuing this through sun channels as well, but have
no answers as yet.  any hints greatly appreciated...

g'day!
