HUH?????!!!

knfsd has problems afaik but I find this very difficult to believe.
Userspace nfs has never crashed here since the past year on a mixture
of machines, Debian-Sparc, Solaris 7, Solaris 2.5, 
Debian x86, RH5.2, RH6, RH61..

What kind of processing/loads/transfers do you have going ?

Just an adverse pov ;)
