OK, perhaps the Linux NFS server is the real problem then. I thought that
I had disabled NFSv4 on that server but

[root@newton /proc/17856]# cat status
Name: nfsd4

I never did trust Linux NFS very much but that machine is my print server
also and the printer requires HPLIP, which will not build on Solaris.
