Thanks to those who responded.
The answer is that minix only uses gid's < 256. HOWEVER, the kernel
does work with the proper number! I incorrectly assumed based on the
"ls -al" that the gid was wrong. Anyways, NFS does work correctly
in spite of gid short (int) coming. (Sorry I couldn't help that :-) )
