Hmmm perhaps an unrelated observation may help here then :-)

I happened to be debugging a malloc'ing problem in some of my own code
on a NetBSD machine so I had set MALLOC_OPTIONS to tell malloc to
always allocate a new memory area on realloc and fill the unused
portion (and the old area) with the value '0xD0'.  Just by chance I
attempted to use clog with this environment and I get:

[blymn_at_rover] clog
username: blymn
Password: 
Invalid login (RPC2_NOBINDING (F)).

I _know_ my password was typed correctly and clog does work from
another window that does not have the MALLOC_OPTIONS set so all is
right with my server/venus connection.  To me, this sounds like
someone is doing something naughty with a realloc'ed bit of memory
which could lead to a lot of weirdness.  This is with coda 5.3.5 so
these problems may have been fixed already...
