OK, after wasting some time on the above "red herring",
I've determined that the SunOS server was simply not
able to receive the "back-to-back" packets that the
new le driver sends with the default NFS write size.
(This is a consequence of the faster le driver...)

The easiest way to deal with this is to add the following
lines to your config file:

	# XXX - Work-around for slow SunOS/Sun3 servers
	options       NFS_BOOT_RWSIZE=1024

Then do later mounts to the same server like this:

	mount -t nfs -o '-w 1024' pooh:/home /home

Can anyone tell me how to put such an option in the fstab?
(It looks like we need to add "wsize=1024" parsing...)
