System: NetBSD enigma.cs.uwm.edu 1.0beta ENIGMA#1 i386


>Description:
	
	I have 2 Netbsd 1.0beta machines.  The server a 486/50, the client
	a 386/33.  About a month or two ago nfs worked fine on these two
	machines, recently whenever I copy a large file(above 5k or so) 
	on the client to one of the clients local drives the nfs connection
	hangs. I cann't control z or c it.  

	I have an ethernet scope on the wire and the client machine 
	sends a packet to the server, the server responds with about 
	5 packets, then there is a delay (about 10seconds) and it repeats. 
	If I break into the debugger it usually says I'm in bpendsleep().
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	I'm not sure what to try, but I know the kernel fairly well and
	could test things out if someone had some ideas.
