If it was an NFS problem, it would happen regardless of the implementation of NFS server and NFS client.
I guess the underlying file system is ext3/ext4. If so, ext3/ext4 and NFS need to be patched. The reason then is a compatibility issue with NFSv2 and 32-bit user space (32 bit long values from telldir() ). We also already run into it with FhGFS.
