I know this topic appears from time to time in the list archive.
But have you ever seen this much?

Below is the dmesg of NFS client (macppc/1.6.1_RC2). The server is an i386.
I mounted "pkgsrc" and compiled shells/zsh. I tried some combinations
of "-2" and "-T", but the results were the same.

What is worse, when I tried "-r" and "-w" in order to lower the size,
random errors occured, e.g. patch didn't work.

Any suggestions except for replacing the NIC?
