We'd really like to fix this by getting the pre-allocation tables right in nfs4xdr.c. Chuck has already identified one incorrect value: http://linux-nfs.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=nfs-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=6ce7dc940701cf3fde3c6e826a696b333092cbb1;hp=aa3d1faebe6e214cd96be0e587571477ff6fd9fc that I just asked you to pull as part of a series of bugfixes. I'm hoping that will suffice to fix Jeff's case too.
