Subject: df and "Value too large for defined data type"

Using a (vanilla) 2.6.3 NFS client and using df on a on a particular NFS
mounted file system gives:

df: `/mnt/tmp': Value too large for defined data type

/mnt/tmp is mounted from a server running 2.4.21 that has a 3.5TB RAID
split into 4 partitions of less than 1TB each. The file system on the
server is XFS.

/proc/mounts on the client shows:

lead:/disk1 /mnt/tmp nfs
rw,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,udp,lock,addr=lead 0 0

When I use NFSv2, df (or actually statfs()) works as expected - as do
mounts to other NFS servers (it appears to be just this one server).

Also, clients running 2.4.X, have no problems with this server.

Any ideas?
