You were right. Backing out READDIRPLUS fixes the problem with NFS and
files losing the executable bit. I just tried things with 2.5.23-dj1 and
all is well.

Here are a couple of compile fixes for that kernel though:

drivers/input/keyboard/ps2serkbd.c is missing

 #include <linux/tqueue.h>

drivers/input/serio/ct82c710.c is missing

 #include <linux/sched.h>
 #include <asm/errno.h>

Thanks,
 - Brent
