Subject: possible locking problems with Linux NFS V4

We have been doing some testing against a NFS V4 3.2 distribution (June 
2002 release) and are experiencing problems with locking. Raw network 
traces indicate that the response to a LOCK request may have an extra word 
in a successful response between the return status and the state id. We 
see a status of zero, followed by a word (value = 0). followed by what 
looks to be a valid state id (seqid + 12 bytes for other).

Has anyone else tried locking against a Linux V4 server and experienced 
such a problem?

Thanks for any help or guidance,
Carl
