nfs server aragorn:/usr/projects: not responding

goldberry (the client) runs 1.4.3A, aragorn (the server) runs 1.5.3.
(they are pmax and i386, resp.)

aragorn needed to be rebooted to test some kernels while mounts from
goldberry were still active.  I have recovered successfully from this
before, but this time I'm stuck... how do I unwedged the client (besides
rebooting)?

every time I think NFS is OK, it does something to remind me of its
suckage.  ;)

19:38:27.341271 goldberry.poofy.goof.com.3798404096 > aragorn.poofy.goof.com.nfs: 40 null
19:38:27.341364 aragorn.poofy.goof.com.nfs > goldberry.poofy.goof.com.3798404096: reply ok 24 null

goldberry is requesting and receiving null NFS requests -- why isn't it
getting unstuck?  :P
