4D-200 series hangs frequently

[Ramani Pichumani]

On a related note, we have a 4D/380 which frequently hangs up for a
period of anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.  The funny thing is
that when a process hangs up (say the shell), I can still log in from
another window and everything works fine.  The hung process eventually
comes back to life but it is very annoying to say the least.  Does
anyone know what causes this scenario?  It happens several times a
week, sometimes several times a day.  When are running IRIX 3.3.1 with
8 processors.

Thanks,
Ramani Pichumani
