 Is mine.xls large? (Does this happen even with small files?) Does "cat
 mine.xls > /mnt/u/S/Upgrade_2006/mine.xls" also fail?
 
 My understanding is that smbfs is considered experimental in the
 netbsd-5 branch and can't really be expected to work, but I thought it
 worked a little better than this.
 
 If the answer is that mine.xls is large, small files work ok, and cat
 also works, then this is moderately likely to make the problem go
 away:
 
    cd /usr/src/bin/cp
    cvs update -j1.34 -j1.36 utils.c
    make obj
    make dependall install
 
 If this is the case please let us know.
