after adding a SPARC IPX with Solaris 2.6 to our workgroup, the user nfsd
of our Linux server dies about once a day. I tried to narrow it down, but
that's hard on a live file server. I got a backtrace once, and nfsd dies
in free().

we now use the --fail-safe option for nfsd, which restarts a new nfsd after
it the old one died. And as the Solaris box used nfs over TCP, yesterday
I switched to UDP, but right now, I don't know, wether this makes any
difference.
