I thought I once heard about a problem with early versions of
Solaris in which they left the trailing NULL on the end incorrectly (or
something like that...I do not know the NFS protocol and I do not
remember). Sun's NFS (the one they license) was not bothered by this,
but some other products were (most non-UNIX NFS were I think). All
sounds pretty far fetched as I type this, though...
