I don't know about that, but we (Red Hat) have had customers logging the
problem in our Bugzilla against NFS.

Coming up with a reliable test case is a little tricky, as it involves setting
up a server to generate fileids > 0xffffffff, and manipulating inode numbers
directly generally isn't allowed...  Maybe it can be done with a ramfs hack.
