That particular process is hanging because nfs_loadattrcache() has noticed that the file shrunk, but it is not safe in this context (from vm_fault) to do anything about it. A workaround for this problem went into 4-stable at the end of last October, so upgrading to a more recent -stable will stop these hangs. As noted in the archived -hackers message I mentioned, there is another related problem that still exists, but it seems to occur much less frequently.
