I was not able to reproduce that.

I think that earlier report was from David too. This is just more detailed
report it seems.

And while you are listening - I want to share my own NFs problems in 2.5.59 ;)
If I try to mount any NFS exported filesystem from the same host (e.g
localhost), mount process hangs in D state. Server appears to work ok though
and serves requests from external clients.
