OK, right. I tracked down one incident captured here:

http://www.nies.ch/download/apple-nfs-loop-1dir.dump.gz

A READDIRPLUS reports a directory entry "." with cookie 276 (Frame 157) 
and the next READDIRPLUS reports a file "package-use.html" with same 
cookie 276 (Frame 161). This is WRONG by the server, right?

But why is it working then without problems on a Solaris NFS client?

Well, seems that I have to call Apple support and listen to one hour 
iTunes again ...

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Bernd
