>Description:
FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE and 2.2.6-RELEASE are very unstable once NFS server and/or client are used.  Network interface dies under heavy trafic (2.2.6-STABLE, dated Jun 10 1998), or the whole machine freezes (2.2.6-RELEASE older version Mar 98).

The only evidence in the log files are some nfsd or nfsiod error messages before the whole machine crashes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just fire up two FreeBSD boxes with a NFS server/client and have some fun with the NFS shares, like doing make installworld over a NFS share.  Shure killer.  The server will eventually freeze, or do any other strange things.

This have been tried on two totally difrent computers running two different versions of FreeBSD 2.2.6.  And the both crash (in diferent ways thogh.)
