Does this still happen with more recent RHEL3 kernels?
I think this is a dup of bz118839, which should be fixed in RHEL3 U4. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 118839 ***
Note that lines must be added to /etc/modules.conf in order to override the default values of nfs3_acl_max_entries and/or nfsd3_acl_max_entries.
