Ah hah! I wondered about this. Funny you mention it. The interesting
thing was that my most problem boxen is this one here, and it is the
/only/ one with:

rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"

in rc.conf I simply chose these in an effort to keep everything current
and accurate. You don't happen to have any experiences keeping rpc.statd
running?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
