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? ...)
