I think the source of the problem for the bugreport must be somewhere
else. If the NFS RPC packets are really incompatible, none of our
Alphas should be able to communicte with a 32bit NFS server. But it
works.

I don't think this is the problem described. tcpdump probably uses the RPC functions to read the NFS data and somewhere the tcpdump code relieas on the overflow.
