Probably not relevant to the previous message...

I am seeing .nfs* files left in the filesystem long after they are active,
perhaps this simply results from rebooting the client machine?

Other NFS oddities:

I am also noticing 'make clean' sometimes needs to be repeated multiple times
on an NFS mounted directory, because of an infamous "rm: directory not empty".

'make includes' with an NFS mounted /usr bails out sometimes complaining about
nonexistent files which match a template of INS@* (from install).

None of this is new.
