Problem Description: 

If you have a VMS system running UCX [DEC's NFS] and you mount file
systems from the VMS to the Sun only then this problem will occur. 
The problem is that when one tries to use du or tar they loop forever
until ^C is used.  This patch should only be used if you are running
into this interoperability problem.

INSTALL: 

Make a copy of the old executables:

mv /bin/tar /bin/tar.fcs
mv /bin/du /bin/du.fcs

Move the patched version of du and tar that match your system architecture
into /bin directory and set the permissions:

mv `arch`/tar /bin/tar
mv `arch`/du /bin/du 

chmod 755 /bin/tar
chmod 755 /bin/du
