This has been a problem with portmap for as long as I can remember (back
to the SunOS 3.5 days) and if you have finally fixed it WONDERFULL!!!

I hope you have commited it, or well soon, to -stable, as this one has
surely been one to send many a young admin screaming from his cubicle
yelling ``but it should work, it really should just work''.

Given the length of time that this problem has existed some how I doubt
it...
