Subject:   NFS problems in 2.2.8 ?

Well, this is a very bizarre problem!

Running 2.2.8, if I create a directory (NFS mounted) as root which is
mode 555, then attempt to create a file in it, nfsiod hangs.  Well,
the whole system experiences hangs because an nfsiod is in disk-wait.
I've *never* seen that problem before (FWIW, NFS server is SunOS4).
Well, it's 2.2.8-STABLE, not -RELEASE...if I run -RELEASE I do not
experience any problem!  Should I have upgraded other parts of 2.2.8
besides the kernel to fix this ?  The behaviour in question is a
result of a tar from tape onto an NFS mounted disk.
