Thank you all for your suggestions. I think we've isolated the  
problem enough to hand it off to someone else, since we have hardware  
and OS software support on all the machines involved.

File server: dual ultrasparc running Solaris 10, serves the file  
system using either NFSv3 or NFSv4.

Operation:

svn -q checkout svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk gcc; cd gcc; contrib/ 
gcc_update

Results:

File system mounted as NFSv3 or NFSv4 on dual ultrasparc running  
Solaris 9: works

File system mounted as NFSv3 on RHEL 4: works

File system mounted as NFSv4 on RHEL 4: reports seeming file system  
corruption.

This is reproducible, so perhaps someone can find a fix for it.

Thanks again.
