The Ultrix machine is probably trying an unmount request from a non-reserved
port. Try adding "-noresvmnt" to your exports file for this filesystem,
and see if that helps. Note that this option is not something that you
want to keep around, as it decreases security (i.e. makes getting a
filehandle a lot easier).

The fact that it keeps on looping is indeed a bug; I'll fix that.
