stat errors on NFS mounted filesystem.

I've got some strange errors showing up with some of my files on NFS
automounted filesystems. My NFS client system is a V880 running Solaris
8.0. The NFS fileserver is a NetApp.

My application reports the following error:

  ERR - Cannot lstat64 Session 3/Rayne.sp.bac. \
    Errno = 79: Value too large for defined data type

If I got to the directory where the file resides and try to ls or cat
it, I get the following errors:

  $ cat Rayne.sp.bac
  cat: cannot stat Rayne.sp.bac
  $ ls -l Rayne.sp.bac
  Rayne.sp.bac: Value too large for defined data type

It's a tiny little 4KB text file. Also, I've got some SGI IRIX 6.5
clients that can see the same files without any problem. I don't have
any other Solaris systems to use as a cross check, but I suspect this is
something specific to the current state of my Solaris NFS client system.
I'm inclined to manually unmount and remount the filesystem, but I can't
and won't be able to for some time.

Can anyone offer me some insights into this problem?

Thanks.
