portmap crashing under SunOS 4.0.3

[David Hayward]

We have had problems with the portmap daemon disappearing (presumably
crashing) intermittently under SunOs 4.0.3 on a Sun4 and a Sparcstation.

We are developing software which uses the portmapper, but I don't think we
are doing anything strange enough to crash it, and furthermore, I would
have thought that it shouldn't be possible to crash it.  The software
seems to work fine under 4.0.1.

I haven't yet been able to find a reproducable sequence of events which
cause the crash.

Is this a known problem?  Is there a fix?  I would appreciate any help.
