The testing box in question now mounts again in TCP mode because the
problem occurred twice today (client NFS processes locking in nfsrcv
with a single "not responding" message in dmesg) and it was way
annoying requireing two reboots.  However, it could run fine during
approximately 48 hours previously.  It is thus hard to reproduce, it
appears very intermittent.
