I've got this one... most of the time. When compiling to disks from
the Encore server, I get bad links (the link finishes cleanly, but
the resulting image is damaged, often in strange and interesting
ways). On the other hand, when the remote server is a Sun or an A/UX
machine, I've never seen this problem.

The problem doesn't happen with small programs: hello world works
10 out of 10. Big programs (nn, gcc, g++, etc) always fail.
