I missed Guy's e-mail before my earlier e-mail. I've confirmed this problem against an internal future release that has the fix for bug 4604. We are continuing to investigate. I did notice in my attempts to reproduce the problem last night that it did not happen every time.

Bug 4604, "NFS v3 layer ignores readdirplus dircount parameter", has caused problems with DU 4.0 clients; the fix is in 5.0, so if you were running a pre-5.0 release, that might be the cause of this problem.
