nfs hasn't changed much, so if the problem is in nfs (rather than in
netinet) it's probably still in -current.

not that this actually helps.

Also note that there are a fair number of cases in nfs where lost
packets result in timeouts that don't get handled properly causing
things to wedge. If you haven't yet, try using tcp mounts as that
tends to avoid exercising some of those cases.
