Subject:   resend: NFS/AMD problems on 5.1R - losing homedirs sporadically

ok, let's try again, the single . on a line seems to have fooled my MTA :)
sorry for sucking up bandwidth.

Hi all,

Am upgrading/cleaning up our internal mail hub, old one was 4.8-STABLE,
new one is 5.1-R (i know, i know, shouldn't run 5.x as production system
yet, but man - it all went so well until the end!) 

So the problem is with AMD. Config is exactly the same as with 4.x, as 
is the nfs, netgroup, etc. stuff. host is an nis client. user logs in,
homedir automounts fine. User pokes around, does random usery stuff, and
at some point (and sometimes at no point), their home directory will no
longer be mounted. ls ~ returns a prompt.  

I apologize for the length. Once the problem begins it Looks like this:

matt@sargon2 ~ > df
