from the discussion in bugzilla it seemed like a fair number of people
were suffering from the nfs defaults going to nfsv3, upd and 32768 wsize
and rsize/ 32768 bytes. That size of packet is going to be hard for even
REALLY well maintained networks to manage.

It might be worthwhile to try out the nfsv3 client over tcp and see if
the same problems occur.
