If there is a timeout, NFS will rebind the socket.  In theory this should
be ok as NFS is stateless.  Perhaps there is some IPv6 thing that makes
rebound sockets not work right?

Is there a reason why that might be the case?

I'm going to make a patch to set the SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT
on the sockets.

I'm also going to bump the timeout from 5 to 12 seconds.
