Possible bug in NFSv4 with krb5p security?

Thank you for your help. I'm currently in the process of analysing what is
happening inside gssd during these operations. I'll get back later with a
summary of my findings.

However, I have found a real bug this time. An honest to FSM kernel crash.
This is how I reproduced it:

  - Kill gssd
  - Attempt to mount a kerberised NFS mount from the Linux machine
  - The mount attempt will hang because gssd isn't running
  - While the mount is hung, start gssd
  - Kernel crash

What should I do about that one?

Regards,
Elias
