Attached is 1000 lines of output from tshark when the problem is occurring. The client and server are connected by a private ethernet.

I have a NFSv4 server and client running 2.6.38.6 with Debian squeeze.  On my client kthreadd is running constantly, and my processes accounting file is full of entries with the PPID of kthreadd and the command being the IP number of the server with "-ma" appended, e.g.

192.168.1.12-ma

I believe this is the nfsv4 state manager being constantly being respawned by kthreadd and quickly exiting.   There are no log entries from the state manager (or anything else from NFS).  When I reboot the system with the Debian provided 2.6.32 kernel the problem goes away.  Does anyone have an idea why this would be occurring?   I have included the kernel config file from the client.
One thing you could do to capture more information about the problem is to run a network trace on a client that is in this state.  The procedures and error codes on the wire might be illuminating.
