If that's the case then it's probably also true in 2.6.19-rc2.

Would it be possible to get a trace of the network traffic between
client and server during the time of the failed mount?

So that'd mean just running

	tcpdump -wTMP -s0

then trying the mount, then killing the tcpdump, then sending me TMP.

--b.
