Heck if I know whose bug this is...

One of my systems runs kernel 2.5.52; its NFS shares mount fine with my
2.4.20 system, and the 2.4.20 shares mount properly on the 2.5.52 system.
All's happy in Linuxland.

Unfortunately, Windows is *not* happy. My system using Windows 2000
w/"Services for Unix" can mount the NFS exports from the 2.4.20 machine --
but while the Win2K box can *see* the 2.5.52 shares, it suffers terribly
when trying to mount them -- sometimes locking up, sometimes telling me the
share can't be found.

Another oddity: The Win2k machine sees the 2.4.20 system by IP address, and
the 2.5.52 system by name.

I have the 2.5.52 kernel compiled for NFS4. Both the 2.5.52 system and
2.4.20 have identical /etc/exports and /etc/hosts.

I'm quite willing to lay this in the lap of those jolly folk in Redmond, but
I was wondering if anyone knew of incompatibility between 2.5.52 NFS and
Win2K/SFU.
