I have some patches from Poul, so I will cc him on this reply, just in
case.  the machine rapidly and endlessly loops on this message and appears
dead otherwise (totally stops responding), but that can be due to
overloading the serial console.  It seems like NFS triggers it more than
anything else.  I copied /usr/src and /usr/ports fomr an nfs mount to a
local disk with no ill effects.  IT does this reliably if you try to
compile across NFS.
