Thanks for looking into this.

I am not observing this problem on my Solaris 10 + NFS host.

For file-has-acl.c I'd like it if the code didn't have the arbitrary limit
around half the maximum allocated size, and the code could be simplified
and regularized a bit so that the two Solaris cases are as similar as
possible, so I propose the attached patch.  The same idea can be applied to
copy-acl.c but of course it's more important to fix the bug.
(Maybe applying the idea will fix the bug? ...)

Subject: [PATCH] acl: unlimit and simplify file_has_acl

* lib/file-has-acl.c (file_has_acl): Try all the way up to the
maximum possible allocation rather than giving up half way.
This should have little or no practical effect, but it's nicer
to have the code be clear about the limits.  Also, simplify
the Solaris, Cygwin, general case code a bit.
