I'm suspicious of that too. The wireshark trace you described is hard
to read any other way than that FreeBSD went out of its way to deliver
incorrect information. I'm prepared to believe that we can't work
correctly on NFS servers that don't do the stable-cookie thing, but
why isn't it succeeding on ones that do?
