Reiserfs really needs 64bit of inode in the NFS file handles, otherwise
this happens as soon as you run out of the file handle cache with many
active clients. The 2.2 code did a brute force search in this case (the
handles are unique in 32bit, it's just very costly to look them up without
the other 32bit), but it usually consumed so much CPU time that people 
thought the server crashed.

There are patches to do that for knfsd for both 2.2 and 2.4, but they
haven't been merged yet. It needs a small VFS enhancement and knfsd changes.

Note that stock (unpatched) unfsd also doesn't work in all cases for other
reasons, it makes assumptions about the inode space that do not work out
on a longer used reiserfs. This has also been fixed.
