I'm not NFS expert, but I'll describe one problem I have with the
2.2 branch.  The situation is a Solaris client mounting a disk
from my FreeBSD box.  On a large directory tree, doing an `rm -r'
on the Solaris box misses files.  It takes multiple invocations
of `rm -r' to actually clean everything out. 

No crashes on either side though.  The kernel and nfs lkm are
from February 18.
