Btw, if it more convenient, you can capture the packets with
tcpdump (use -s 0 -w <file>.pcap ...) and then look at
<file>.pcap via wireshark on any machine it's convenient to
install it on.

Although wireshark is pretty good at NFS messages, you can
email me <file>.pcap and I'll take a look at it.

I am not aware of any bugs in current that cause the RPC messages
to be corrupted.

Good luck with it, rick
