Also adding,

It survived multiple buildworld runs over NFS v3 udp hard mounts  
while inserting a 11gb compressed mysql dump over NFS into the  
database running on local disks. Both machines involved for the  
buildworld are 2950's running 6.2-PRERELEASE, identically configured.  
source for the mysqldump is a NetApp F810c, all connections over gig  
ethernet.

this is with r 1.2.2.6 of if_bce.c
