nfs mount takes a really long time

[nori heikkinen <nori@sccs.swarthmore.edu>]

trying to mount nfs partitions.  they eventually work, but they take
46 minutes, and give errors like:

lock_d up: no pid, 2 users??

in the process.  which is weird as shit.

i was using kernel 2.4.21; i downgraded to 2.4.20, thinking it was
maybe a kernel bug, but no luck -- same problem.

i have nfs in my kernel -- of course, because these mounts eventually
work, just an hour later!  weird.

what's five times more infuriating is that this just works out of the
box on redhat.
