Problem w/doscp command. Possible bug?

[Carmen Hardina]

I'm having difficulty copying more than 14 files at a time with the doscp
command.  I am running SCO XENIX 2.3.1 on an Everex 3000A 16MHz 386 w/3MB
of RAM, 64K cache, 183MB Maxtor hard disk w/Adaptec 2372B RLL 1:1 controller.
151MB XENIX partition, 32MB PC-DOS 3.20 partition.  Here is the scenario...

I have 32 files that total 679,296 bytes.  I want to copy them to directory
on the DOS partition, so I execute the following command.

# doscp *.MAC c:/egamac<Return>

It begins copying all the files in the current directory with the MAC extension
to an existing subdirectory named "egamac" on the DOS partition.  But, it stops
after the 14th file (a total of 268,416 bytes) and displays this error.

doscp: no memory for buffers
#

I delete the 14 files that it did manage to copy from the current directory and
repeat the command.  It copies 14 files (this time for a total of 341,376 bytes)
and then stops and returns the same error again.  I delete the 14 that it copied
sucessfully and repeat the command once again.  It copies the remaining 4 files
(for a total of 69,504 bytes) without error.

What am I doing wrong?  Or is it a bug?  The only common thing seems to be that
it consistently stops on the 14th file.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If
it is a bug, I hope we can identify it and have SCO correct it if it hasn't been
already.  BTW, I tried tuning the following kernel parameters to their maximum
values, but it had no effect, same error at the same places; NBUF, NSABUF,
NPBUF, NHBUF, and MAXBUF.  Any help will be appreciated.

					Thanks in advance,
