Hi,

The etch-installer seems to think that 127.0.1.1 is a IP to put in
/etc/hosts for the client's hostname, which confuses current mount when
using NFSv4; more than two clients mounting to the same server at the
same time will cause a "client ID already in use!" message at the server
and usually total I/O lockup for one of the clients.

The included patch, based on one I found on the web (just backported to
the one in etch), seems to change this behaviour; it will still break
with NAT, but at least it should work reasonably well without. I've done
basic mount and usage testing; hopefully it should be OK.
