NFS was definitely involved in the hung machine. Immediately prior to
the hang, I had done something like

% cp -r /othermachine/dir ./

where the amount of data copied was several hundred megabytes. both
machines have only a single CPU -- CONFIG_SMP is NOT set. i had typed
a few trivial commands on the client before the client hung. the command
that hung the machine was a simple

% cd xx<TAB>

where the <TAB> was to do command-line completion under tcsh. that's when
the thing locked solid. (the cwd directory at the time was itself NFS
mounted)

The NFS was linux-2.2.12 server to linux-2.2.12 client, with knfsd-1.4.7 on
both client and server.
