I poked at this a little further.  I made the attached stand-alone
test case (you don't need any more than "cc -o rmtree rmtree.c"
to build it, then point the script at some NFS-mounted directory).
This fails with my NAS at least as far back as FreeBSD 11.0.
I also tried it on NetBSD 9.2 which seems fine.
