hmm... it sound like 7.2 is returning garbage but to which
over-the-wire operation? Since FC1 does not have ACL support so
the getxattr() (that is done by your test program) should
be returned EOPNOTSUPP (as it does in my testing) but instead
it sounds like the FC1 is actually trying to send something otw..
Would it be possible to get a strace and ethereal trace of this
phenomenon?
