annoying bug? in NFS

So, I edit a script file which lives on an NFS mounted partition. If I
then try to run the script on the machine which is the NFS server for that
file I get

/bin/sh: bin/cron/cat-proc-stat: Text file busy

Is this really necessary? It's not like I still have the file open or
anything. The only solution I know if is to do this on the NFS server:

mv $1 $tmp
cp $tmp $1

Can this be fixed, or would it break something else?
