It's running into IFQ_MAXLEN, this is the same problem that causes ping to 
fail with 'no buffer space'.  The original network code used to drop the 
packets silently when the outbound queue limit was reached.  DG changed it 
so that it reported back an ENOBUFS error.  What's actually happening is 
that the combination of NFS and possibly other traffic has filled the 
outbound queue.

The fix is probably to ignore the error within NFS, since it'll have 
to retransmit and Just Get Over It.
