Still gettnig NFS client locking up

[Matt]

I'm now running a kernel/world of October 26th on both NFS client and 
server machines. I am still seeing NFS lockups as reported by several 
people in these threads:

I just tried port upgrading bind9 and it got 10% through downloading and 
locked up. I tried an ls /usr/ports and there was no response. I had to 
umount -f /usr/ports to get the processes to exit.

Poul-Henning's patch did not have any effect because it appears to be 
the client at fault not the server as Marc Olzheim mentioned that he has 
the same issue with a 4.x NFS server machine using a 5.1-current client.
