    i have not been able to reproduce it with the aforementioned NFS patches
    removed. i'm now convinced it was a bug in one of the NFS patches i had
    applied, even though none of them come near the fraglist stuff, but i
    haven't had a chance to nail it down.

    i had implemented a patch to cause the RPC client to reuse the port
    number when reconnecting to the server after the server drops the
    connection... this is a standard practice for other RPC implementations.
      i suspect it was that patch that was causing the trouble.

    thanks for the follow-up!
