Subject:   NFS-related process hangs in -current

I updated my -current box on Friday night, and since then I've been
seeing some process hangs that seem to be related to NFS.  This is
with -current CVSupped around 20:50 PDT on June 27 (full make world
plus kernel build).

The problem shows up when I try to build the modula-3-lib port on a
filesystem that is NFS-mounted from another system.  The NFS server
is running 2.2-stable.  At some point in the build, the "quake"
program (M3's answer to "make", *sigh*) hangs in disk wait state.
It is unkillable after that -- the only way to get rid of it is by
rebooting.  Other processes continue to work OK.

Interestingly, I tried it twice and it hung at the same point both
times.  Each test takes a long time, so I only have those two data
points so far.

I built the same port on a local filesystem without any problems.

Does this ring a bell for anybody?  I haven't tried building this
port via NFS for quite a while, so the problem is not necessarily
very new.
