Something else here that needs to be looked at.  On all my Irix boxes that
I export to FBSD, Linux, or any other 32bit system I make sure I export
with the following:

/export/samba	-rw,32bitclients	wash-sgi wash-linux wash-freebsd

That 32bitclients bit is important.  I still have an Irix 5.3 machine
here, and it needs it as well as the Freenixes.
