I'm not sure if this is an NIS/YP problem, but here it goes.  When I
have a long export list, "showmount -e" doesn't work:

===
## showmount -e 
RPC: Timed outCan't do Exports rpc
===

/etc/exports isn't that big but it uses some netgroups, each of which
expands to a few dozen hostnames.  The exporting itself seems to be
working ok, it's just that I can't see the list with showmount.

This is the same loaded net that was giving me all the sig11's before
(which is fixed now, thanks) due to YP timeouts.
