Thanks James.

That's definitely the one.

D'Arcy, if you want to test if your NFS layer is stable, this might
really help. It's a single C file that get compiled, and you run it
against a remote NFS file.

This is supposed to be one of those tools that will try to trip up the
NFS layer in every possible way, without violating the spec, etc.

Hope this is useful.
