Well, actually, I can be of a little assistance.  We had the same problem
on our VAX's edition of archie.  I fixed it a while ago (and no longer have
the patch), but I remember what was wrong with it.

in dirsend.c or pfs.h...
check defines for client_dirsrv_timout, and timeout.tv_sec not getting
initialized correctly.

<pfs.h>
CLIENT_DIRSRV_TIMEOUT 8
CLIENT_DIRSRV_BACKOFF(x) (2 * x)
CLIENT_DIRSRV_RETRY 5

<dirsend.c>
int client_dirsrv_timeout = CLIENT_DIRSRV_TIMEOUT;

[...]

if(timeout.tv_sec==0) { 
  timeout.tv_sec = client_dirsrv_timeout;
  timeout.tv_usec=0;
}

if that doesn't help you out, let me know, and I'll try to pin down a more
'correct' fix.  Sorry I can't remember more.
