This is yet another problem that we have run into here.  If you check the
digest for -hackers it was reported awhile ago (mike smith even cc-ed it
to security since it may have been a kernel stack overflow) .  Anyway, the
problem is that IRIX defaults to 32K packets on TCP NFSv3 mounts, and
16K on UDP NFSv3 mounts.  I recommend using UDP and setting rsize=8192,
wsize=8192 in your amd maps (as we do now, no problems at all).
