yes   HPUX will (and also really old versions of AIX (no idea about
recent versions) ) do this since they appear to ignore what is stated
in GETATTR and instead rely on the read-reply-eof flag.

Which is perfectly fine and valid and perfectly well documented in the standard.


It is just different from how solaris clients works      and homegrown
servers sometimes can get "surprised" if a client does not behave
exactly like solaris does :-)



Whether or not hpux clients and old aix clients are worth worrying
about in this day and age is a different question...
