I for my part can reproduce it when doing a make build on a nfs-mounted 
/usr/src partition.  But, sorry I can't really do that because my client part 
of the testbed is now in production.  However, both client and server are 
quite current i386's, and, if that will help, nfs over tcp continues to work 
after killing all nfsd's on the server and starting up new ones.  So, it might 
not at all be client-related...
