Hi, all.

I haven't paid close attention to this, given my elusively bad RAM over
the last month, but I share source trees using NFS, and there seem to
be problems.

This is from tcpdump, showing attempted mounts:

Acheron is an i386 running 1.4S. Styx is a SPARC running 1.4P. Styx mounts
Acheron's /usr/src and a couple other things.

The port numbers on Styx seem bizarrely large. Is this an RPC thing or
something? Styx hasn't changed since before NFS stopped working, in any
event, so it would seem likely that the change is in Acheron, somewhere
between 1.4P and 1.4S. I can pop a source tree over onto Styx and rebuild
if it would be useful, but my initial impression is that the problem
probably isn't there. I'm way open to ideas. :)
