One cause of this, is if your sccs files are stored on an NFS disk,
and there is clock skew between your system, and the system where the
files are stored.  If for example, the file server's clock is 10
minutes ahead of your workstation's, you won't be able to use 'get' on
a file for 10 minutes after doing an updated, such as a delta.
Programs like ntp or timed (better) can synchronize clocks across
systems, providing your system has the appropriate BSD system calls.
