NFS File corruption

I made a new root fs today by mounting a remote fs via the network
and taring it to a new drive on another machine, i.e.,

mount server:/ /mnt
cd /mnt
tar -clf - . | (cd /new/drive; tar -xf -)

I found that several executable files were corrupt -important ones
like agetty and mount. NotGood(tm).

Both machines run Linux 2.1.128. The corrupt files are the correct
length, but have 13-byte nulls in them at offset 16381, and 41126.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
