The NFS protocols have unsigned fields where statfs has signed 
equivalents: NFS can't represent negative available disk space ( Without 
the knowledge of the underlying filesystem on the server, negative free 
space is a little nonsensical anyway, I suppose)

The attached patch stops the NFS server assigning negative values to 
unsigned fields in the statfs response, and works against my local 
solaris box.  Seem reasonable?
