Remote dxbook search hangs

Anybody seen this yet? Book searches on dxbook displayed on a non-Alpha
machine will hang. The process remains in sleep state. No response to the
"stop search" button in the dxbook GUI interface; in fact the application
is frozen seemingly indefinitely. I have to kill the dxbook process.

This problem is not present if the telnet login is from, and displayed to,
another Alpha.

The Alpha's are 3000/600's running OSF/1 v3.2. The Online documentation
database is served from nfs-mounted CDrom filesystems for some of the
database, local disk space for other parts. The hung search problem has
been demonstrated so far on remote sessions from IBM RS6000's running AIX
3.2.5 and Apple Macintoshes running MacX v1.2.

What seems to be the problem?

Thanks (Will summarize)
