After a hang, if I wait a few minutes, I get some messages about "no longer
dropping packets" or something like that, and the kernel proceeds merrily
along. Ya gotta be patient. If my network is not busy, I don't have
problems. This is with NFS, too. I've seen other systems, notably ISC 2.2,
go into a memory fit for MANY seconds when NFS is initializing. don't know
if this is related.
