I had this problem at the time, and after I found out it was a bug in
gcc, I was able to track down the particular code in nfs_server that got
hit. I was able to work around the bug by rewriting the code. That
was much easier than trying to figure out code-generation problems in
gcc. Fortunately, someone was able to figure out the problem in gcc
and correct it.
