: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).

   Ah ha!  Yes, 32K packets will certainly screw up NFS under FreeBSD.

   We need to fix that panic to have it simply drop the packet, I guess.
