Strange NFS behavior

Hi managers,

I have a PW500au, running with 5.0A with the most recent patch kit applied,
which mounts partitions from predominantly 4.0F systems with the
automounter. The mount is r/w, and I can cp, mv, cat, and rm files on the
mounted system, but I cannot edit any files with vi. Executing "vi" on a
file on the mounted partition hangs the session, which I can interrupt with
Ctrl-C. Adding to the confusion is the fact that emacs works fine.

The same partitions mounted in the same fashion from a 4.0G system in my
office does not have this odd behavior. As you might guess, I am wondering
why this is so, and what I can do to resolve it.

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.
