Probably an overflow in the math somewhere. Since the overflow is in
the zettabyte range, it is probably someone not being careful with
64-bit values overflowing. "64-bit values are large enough for
everything, right..."

Probably the best thing you can do is either diff the two kernel sources
looking for changes in fs/nfs, or start with 2.4.4 and apply patches
until you get a failure.
I don't think a lot of people will be able to help you test this, as
they don't have 2.7TB NFS servers available ;-).

FYI: In case anyone is wondering (I was) a "Z" is a Zettabyte (2^70 bytes).
It falls between Exabyte (1024 PB = 2^60) and Yottabyte (2^80).
