 One more interesting data point!  This seems to be specific to one 
 particular NFS remote file system.
 
 My NetBSD build environment is mounted from host X, and I can access
 it without any problems.  I can 'ls /build' or 'ls /build/src' and
 everything is fine.
 
 However, my home directories are mounted from host Y.  I can 'ls
 /home' and successfully get a list of the five user directories.
 But if I 'ls /home/paul' (which contains some 60+ entries) it just
 hangs.  And once it hangs, it is hung solid and I can no longer
 'ls /home' either.  Further, I cannot 'umount /home' - not even
 with -f.
