Folks,

I apologize in advance for the incompleteness of this bug report but I
do not know how to discover more (please tell me how to get a
backtrace and I will be happy to provide it).  I will be happy to
provide additional details on request.

A client of mine reports that attempting to execute a DOS program
under Windows 95 from a SAMBA exported drive that was NFS mounted
from another machine, i.e. like this:

disk-on-machine-A  --NFS-->  machine-B --SAMBA--> Windows95

silently crashes machine B, there is no panic or reboot, screen is
blank, keyboard, ethernet, and serial port unresponsive, CPU appears
to have halted.  Both machine A and B are running FreeBSD 2.0.5R.

He says that it is repeatable and happens with every DOS executable
attempted.  Reading and writing files in this configuration works
without problems, DOS executes from machine B SAMBA exported local
volumes are OK.  This leads me to the hypothesis that something in the
NFS code is causing this behaviour.

My client has been in contact with the author of SAMBA who feels it is
a FreeBSD bug and has asked me to report it to the FreeBSD development
team.
