Bug#448503: Info received (NFS client problem - writing with group-access fails)

[Ruediger Oberhage <ruediger@next12.theo.physik.uni-due.de>]

Sorry to answer so late, but as promised on Dec. 1st, 2008,
after the suggestion by Moritz Muehlenhoff <jmm@inutil.org>
dated '29 Nov 2008' ...

... I now tested a 2.6.28-flavor-kernel by using Ubuntu's 9.04
alpha preview 3 (this way I didn't have to build the kernel myself
and adjust it to etch'es environment and tools :-)), which uses
kernel version 2.6.28-4 (built from something after 2.6.28-rc8).

Here, the error still persists, only that vi doesn't just crash or
exit, but now gives an error message '"filename" E212: Can't open
file for writing' instead. The other behaviour is still the same
though - the file is lost as its length is cut to zero and thus not
even left intact.

So, error messages are better, the behaviour is still the same from
the original bug description and a very bad one. It didn't become
any worse, though :-).

Thanks and greetings,
