2 things:
1 - the solaris client uses ReaddirPlus and not Readdir RPCs by
default (I can't remember if that default can be overridden?).
2 - different size requests. The Readdir RPC request specifies the
maximum size of a reply (including all XDR) and ReaddirPlus
both that and a maximum size for the directory information
(which is not defined by the RFC, so there is confusion over
what that size actually is a?).
When the solaris client specifies a different maximum sizes,
that probably avoids the bug. (Since most "ls" listings for
directories work, the bug is probably a miscalculation of
this limit that results in the entry being missed, but that's
just a guess??)

ps: I don't recall the previous emails mentioning that the "ls"
was ok for a solaris client.
