    Problem Text
    The above failure is due to the fact that the client (PCNFS) sends
    a READDIR request to the server with a count field too small to hold
    the direstory entry. I took a trace and one can see two READDDIR
    requests before the failure. Those are for the (.) and (..) direstories
    which complete successfully. However, the next directory has a
    recored length larger than 32 which is the value of count in the request.
    A better implementation for the client testsuite would be to issue
    the READDIR request with a count significantly large so as to have
    enough space to return directory entries. The test can then check
    the number of entries return and eof.

    The release notes for PCNFS 1.1.1b indicated that of the 3 implementations
    tested, that none of them returned any directory entries. I would suspect
    that it is because of the small <count> value. Our implementation tries
    to return as many as it can that will fit into the amount of space provided
    in the request. We return 63 File name too long simply to indicate that
    there was not enough space provided in the request to return the data.

    Once again, I believe this is a test suite deficiency that should be
    corrected.
