Jest to erase all doubts, here is the /etc/exports file on april:
-- A.

Funny. When I cut and pasted it into this page if but a line break in
front of the entry for 172.25.1.32 in teh commented-out line. No such line
break appears in the actual file (I checked using emacs). It inserted no
such line break in the non-commented-out lines.
