Is it just me or is there another bug involving 2 FBSD machines running
-stable and nfsv2 or v3?

In the above situation, if machine A is exporting a directory to machine B
and machine A dies unexpectedly, you cannot umount the nfs-mounted
directory; the command just hangs forever.  "mount" will hang forever as
well.  Killing off any nfs processes will not help (brutal I thought, but
worth a try).  Remounting can be difficult, and sometimes a reboot is
required.

Am I doing something terribly wrong?  I'm not doing anything out of the
ordinary, I let the startup script do everything, and I'm only exporting
one directory.
