1.) This is (at least very likely) not a problem in the kernel
    NFS code but a problem in the automounter daemon.

2.) You are not the only one seeing this:

        http://gnats.netbsd.org/41259

3.) I proposed a Google Summer of Code project to get this fixed:

        http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2010/04/06/msg002004.html

Unfortunately it wasn't picked up by any student.

        Kind regards
