When working with certain NFS Servers, directory creation fails although directory creation seemed to be working. Why does this happen?

Explanation:  Certain NFS Servers have a upper limit on holding subdirectories in a directory. For example, Red Hat Linux 8.0 can hold 32000 subdirectories in a directory and Solaris 8.0 can hold 32767 subdirectories in a directory.
