The former, my problem at least.  And it was not a privileged-port
problem (and thus your change is irrelevant to it) but rather one that
required "mount_nfs -c" semantics (or else a fix to the binary-only
vendor NFS code on the server in question).  (I found at least one
alternative fix, but the patch (as you presumably know by now) is so
tiny I preferred to leave it in.)
