Yep, I've seen this.  Also I have found one major disadvantage to tcp
mounts is that they don't deal with nfs server reboots, if the nfs
server goes down and comes back up a new tcp stream is not established and
the client basically has to be rebooted in order to continue using the
nfs filesystem.

I've also seen random hangs over tcp mounts even when the fileserver didn't
reboot.
