	Seem to have a problem with NFS on my 386BSD system.  I am
	mounting a BSD partition on my Dell UNIX system using:
	mount -F nfs -orsize=1024,wsize=1024,hard chibsd:/local /mnt
	If I append to a file on the mounted partition, it overwrites
	the file instead of appending to the bottom.  Easiest way to
	do this is to 
	date >> foo
	date >> foo
	Only one line shows up.  This has completely screwed my rkive
	program as it does a lot of appending to the index files.
	It does not happen if I mount the Dell system to BSD or
	if I mount a Dell partition via NFS from the Dell box.

	Any ideas?

	That's the biz, sweetheart.
