I did some more tests. I previously thought I only have NFSv2 servers,
but one seems to support v3 :-)

I did the following tests with both a NetBSD 1.3.3 and a FreeBSD 2.2.8
server. The FreeBSD server from the man pages appears to support
v3. (Side-question: how can I verify which version is used for a
particular mount point?)

Here are the results:

kernel with NFS_V2_ONLY option:
        mount_nfs -2 ...   works
        mount_nfs -3 ...   doesn't work, bug appears

kernel without NFS_V2_ONLY option:
        mount_nfs -2 ...   works
        mount_nfs -3 ...   works

BTW, shouldn't "mount_nfs -3" return an error if the server doesn't
support v3?

I will do. But I'm still sorting out the circumstances where the bug
appears...
