Actually, I was mistaken: running a background "find / >/dev/null"
triggers the problem even on the old RedHat (2.4.26) and
Gentoo (2.6.11) clients.

It's already turned off on all shares.  For the record, this is the
contents of my /etc/exportfs:

/home                   gss/krb5(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async) beetle(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async) deimos(rw,async,no_subtree_check,anonuid=134,anongid=100) haring(rw,async,no_subtree_check,anonuid=127,anongid=100) murphy(rw,async,no_subtree_check,anonuid=158,anongid=100) daneel(rw,async,no_subtree_check,anonuid=100,anongid=100) 10.0.0.0/8(rw,no_subtree_check,async)
/arc                    10.0.0.0/8(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async,anonuid=14,anongid=113)
