Tom,
I'm not sure why it wouldn't happen on an NT server (unless the NT server
wasn't utilizing AppleShare IP protocol), HOWEVER, Adobe made some changes
in Illustrator 9 that affects it's communication with servers (not any
specifically) which cause strange things to happen.
Although i'm not a production operator, I install server solutions in the
pre-press industry and i've heard nothing but disappointment with regards
to illustrator 9. Many of my customers have discontinued its use and gone
back to version 8 just due to the production problems they've been
experiencing.
if this problem is only happening with illustrator 9, I would say it's not
likely your netatalk configuration. Try doing the same operations with
illustrator version 8 and see if the problem persists. if not, then it's
very likely Illustrator 9, at which point, i'd suggest contacting Adobe to
see if they have a fix.
hope this helps.
