Subject: 2.6.28-rc3 truncates nfsd results

Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some situations"
breaks the nfsd server. Bisected it back to this commit and reverting it
fixes the problem.

However, it only happens on certain machines even with the same kernel &
filesystem (ext3). I've two groups of similar computers, each group running
identical kernels. The ones listing only ~250 files are of course in error.
Eldritch is running 2.6.28-rc3 with that commit reverted. With 2.8.28-rc3 it
showed the incorrect number.
