Hello!

FreeBSD NFS client seems to have an ancient problem 
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/57696) with readdir(2).

Do we have any workaround on system level? running lockd does not help, 
attempt to increase readdir read size does not help as well.

Does 8-CURRENT NFS client has the same problem?

Alex.
