Hi Steve-

I was testing the in-kernel rpcbind client to fix a bug with the GETVERSADDR request... and noticed that the Linux rpcbind client doesn't respond correctly to these requests. I get a 4-byte zero response instead of the expected 24-byte universal address.

I finished my testing against a Solaris Nevada snv_63 server. You could use something like that as a reference.

OK... could you please open a bz with all the details on how to reproduce the problem... I'll try to knock it out asap...
