That does not seem to be the root of the problem. I've built nfs-utils
with these lines commented out on one of my systems and disabled the
workaround in idmapd and the problem persists.

Hmm. Probably the workaround should then be included in the default
configuration of idmapd. It seems not to cause any harm and works around
these problems and IMHO its unlikely that this can be fixed *properly*
for lenny. What do you think about this approach? Shall we ask the NFS
maintainers about this change to the default configuration?

Best Regards,
Patrick
