Yes, and the IRIX ftpd, Midnight Commander (mc), xemacs, ... are confused too.

I just tested a 2.4.10 xfs kernel (with preempt patch, but _without_ the nfs
patch i had attached in my last mail). It's seems to work. My ftpd and mc
tests are ok. Tested with IRIX 6.5.3 and HP-UX 10.20. So you dont need the
patch for 2.4.10.
