    I can't read text or spreadsheet data from NFS with Libreoffice.

    Otherwise NFS is working normally and Libreoffice will work with the
    same files copied to this computer.

    I tried setting

        SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
        to
        SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0


    It does not help. There seems to be something else going on with
    Libreoffice. This is F-15 32 on a 64 bit computer if that matters
    other than that I am dealing with
    "./usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice."
