Frank,

I tracked down the cause of the panics that I've been getting using
NFS server on NetBSD/Alpha. The problem is in the NWDELAYHASH
macro in /sys/nfs.nfs.h. The field fid_data in struct fid is 4-byte
aligned, not 8-byte aligned. Changing the (u_long *) cast to (u_int32_t *)
fixes the problem.

Regards,
