We were having the same problem, but with NFS AIX. Here at RHIC@bnl,
we are using AIX and Solaris for NFS servers. Trying to compile trivial
programs worked, but something like cvs source failed with the same
errors you have there.... only on the AIX servers running NFSv3. We
went to 2.2.7 with the NFS 3 patches, the problem went away...
