Here's a tidbit that came up on a mailing list I'm on. I thought it
might bear looking into, since the short description corresonds to the
linux afpd problems people have been seeing with OS8.5.

There seems to be some issue with some MACs running System 8.5 hanging when
copying files over a network connection. (There are two threads at the
Apple discussion forum; one deals with MAC to MAC transfers, and the other
is MAC to NT copies and disk writes.) This and some unexpected Finder quits
are the only problems I've run into so far.
