I'm getting an intermittent crash in the nfs server as of 68778945e46f143ed7974b427a8065f69a4ce944 "SUNRPC: Separate buffer pointers for RPC Call and Reply messages". I haven't tried to understand that commit or why it would be a problem yet, I don't see an obvious connection--I can take a closer look Monday. Could even be that I just landed on this commit by chance, the problem is a little hard to reproduce so I don't completely trust my testing. --b.
