Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some situations"
breaks the nfsd server. Bisected it back to this commit and reverting it
fixes the problem.

However, it only happens on certain machines even with the same kernel &
filesystem (ext3). I've two groups of similar computers, each group running
identical kernels. The ones listing only ~250 files are of course in error.
Eldritch is running 2.6.28-rc3 with that commit reverted. With 2.8.28-rc3 it
showed the incorrect number.

I'm seeing "weirdness" on my NFS4-mounted home directory (client and server are both x86-64 2.6.28-rc) -- gconfd locking up, and other desktop gadgets breaking. 2.6.27 works great.

I'll try reverting this and see if the behavior improves, thanks for the pointer...
