[opensuse] 2GB File size limit exceeded over NFS on 10.3

I have a server that's been running fine for some years with Suse 9.2.
I've just installed 10.3 and am now getting 'File size limit exceeded'
errors.

The access is being made by an application on another box, running 9.2.
It's trying to copy a 2.7 GB file from a local disk to a filesystem on
the server that it's mounting using NFS. The filesystem is reiserfs and
was not changed when I upgraded the OS. Both machines are 64-bit. The
application has worked fine for years but now says:

File size limit exceeded

I don't have a file size limit (file size (blocks, -f) unlimited)

Google showed it may be a restriction of NFS V2 though why that is now
running is another mystery. rpcinfo and nfsstat shows that server and
client are both running both v2 and v3. I haven't been able so far to
find out which version is in use for a particular mount. How can I do that?

Does anybody recognize these symptoms?

Thanks, Dave
