  I had this problem at the time, and after I found out it was a bug in
gcc, I was able to track down the particular code in nfs_server that got
hit.  I was able to work around the bug by rewriting the code.   That
was much easier than trying to figure out code-generation problems in
gcc.  Fortunately, someone was able to figure out the problem in gcc
and correct it.
