There's no 4K stacks option in 2.4.  We wait with much anticipation
for a community patch to fix the CVS 2.4 NFS mounting issue, preferably
from a guy named Jon since he seems to care so much.  As I said last
time you brought this up, there's not alot of investment in that branch
anymore from SGI's POV.  Mainline 2.4 doesn't have the problem, so if
noone steps up to fix it in CVS, I expect it'll stay broke..

cheers.
