Has anyone been successful in using TCP as the transport for NFS
under version 2.2?  My server is a SparcStation running Solaris 2.5.
Attempting to generate a tar file of a directory tree on a file
system mounted with TCP as the transport reliably produces one
of three errors:

1. tar says: "Stale NFS handle"

2. tar says: "RPC struct is bad"

3. kernel crashes in fifo_badop called from getdirentries.

The latter is more common if the mount is using NFS v3, but
it also fails under v2.
