Well, I just rebooted the client to try the mm/truncate.c patch.  If 
that does not work I will send the stat info to the mailing list.

Here is the exports file on the server:

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be 
exported
#               to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
/home/a1       
10.4.0.*(fsid=0,nohide,rw,no_subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash) 
*.cl.atmos.washington.edu(fsid=0,nohide,rw,no_subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash) 
localhost(fsid=0,nohide,rw,no_subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash)
