rpc.statd dumps core, but continues

[Edgar Fuß <ef%math.uni-bonn.de@localhost>]

Since upgrading our NFS server from -6 to -8, repeatedly dumpd core, but 
seems (according to ps -u) to continue to run.

The gdb backtrace is:

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x000000017e402698 in sm_notify_1_svc ()
(gdb) bt

Interestingly, two of the three core files I got so far are the exact same 
time (04:36) on different days.
