Everything I've seen leads me to believe that paging and/or swapping
over NFS simply does not work.  When I made /usr/src an NFS mount and
started doing "make build"s, I saw things crashing and hanging right
and left - I eventually had to go back to ufs-mounted /usr/src (this
was before ufs->ffs).

Looking into this is something I hope to get around to, but don't hold
yer breath. :-/
