>Description:
the new tcpdump doesn't even have a case for BSD 4.4 NFS filehandles.
the heuristic thinks we're ultrix. as a result all the filehandles
between two NetBSD boxes are printed as the same (wrong) value.
>How-To-Repeat:
use tcpdump to print NFS traffic between two NetBSD boxes.
notice that all the filehandles are wrong.
>Fix:
not provided.
