I was searching for some doc/specs about NFSv2 in altavista (hints?) while
I _incidentally_ ;) seen this page:

http://www.funet.fi/pub/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus/v2.1/patch-html/patch-2.1.118/linux_fs_nfs_dir.c.html

It's 2.1.118 and reverts the 2.0.36 changes in the 2.1.x tree, so I guess
I am not been the only one that had problems with such bit of code...
