The following will fix it completely:

Also, beware that mountd's parent (after forking the child into daemon
mode) will still core dump after applying this fix. You need to
manually kill the mountd child and start it by hand. It'll work from
bootup quite happily then. I have not investigated why this is the
case, I suspect that mountd is corrupting it's state file when
gethostname() is failing, causing it to crash next time, even after
the kernel bug is fixed.
