--- Comment #4 from Rick Macklem <rmacklem@FreeBSD.org> ---
The nfssvc() syscall only allows these cases to be done
by root, so I don't see a problem?
(The syscall is only used by nfs daemons, but if some
 malicious program running as effective uid == 0 wants
 to crash the system it can.)

Are you really trying to make it impossible for a process
running as root to crash the system?
