 I had already posted it :-)

 As you see, I don't think it's due to an old version of Linux.
 Notice that the problem also occurs on SCO OpenServer.
 
 However, it works okay with an OpenBSD box:
 
 neptune>uname -msr ; /sbin/mount | grep big
 OpenBSD 3.9 sparc
 barney.hinyx.info:/big on /big type nfs (v3, udp, timeo=100)
 
 So the problem only occurs against a Linux 2.6.15 (and probably with 
 earlier version--it has been a long time since I had to force NFSv2 with 
 every Linux boxes) and SCO OpenServer.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Thomas
