My home directory lives on a SunOS 4.1.4 server, which helpfully expands
16-bit UIDs to 32 bits as signed quantities, not unsigned. So any uid above
32768 gets 0xffff0000 added to it.
This patch adds a mount option to the Linux NFS client to work round this
brokenness. I haven't updated the NFS_MOUNT_VERSION - it doesn't seem to be
necessary.
