I am trying to resinstall sendmail from my distribution diskettes.  Everything
proceeds normally until I get to Volume 5, when it tries to copy
/usr/lib/edconfig it hangs the machine completely.  I can't interrupt, etc.
I have to reboot.

I have two versions of the AIX 2.2.1 diskettes, both behave identically.
I tried going back a step and installing the last version.  There the Extended
Services are on only 5 diskettes, and sure enought on Volume 4 this time,
when we get to /usr/lib/edconfig it hangs the same way.

Any ideas what could be wrong?  My filesystems are not full and fsck passes
them with no complaints.  HELP!
