The concensus is that the "fixed" ypserv is broken. One individual
(Clyde Hoover) reported fixing the problem by zeroing out the first
byte of the offending error message with EMACS. The other thing I
learned was that it does dump core when it exits, and it appears to
be catching a SIGSEGV. I sent a description to sunbugs.
