I've come across a small NFS inconsistency - We have here a Solaris box NFS
exporting a filesystem, upon which exists a pipe special file. When this is
mounted on another Solaris/Hpux/Sco box, this appears as a pipe special file,
but on my box running Linux 2.1.108, this appears as a character device
special file, with major/minor numbers of 255/255.

I tried to see if this happens on 2.1.112, but this hung just about the time
init should have been started.
