So far I only have problems in a mixed -STABLE/-CURRENT environment. 
When the client & server are both -CURRENT I haven't had any problems. 
If the client is -CURRENT and the server is -STABLE, I occasionally get 
very, very slow response times (like 40 seconds to get an ls response). 
  I can't blame the response times on my LAN, because everything else 
continues to function properly.

In fact, I just had to reboot my laptop (running -CURRENT from 
2003.10.30.07.10.00) to get my -STABLE nfs mounts back to normal.

Are the folks seeing hangs getting any kind of console error messages? 
I don't see anything - performance just tanks to the point of being 
unusable.
