Perhaps we should be setting a flag in the client structure when an
error 111 comes in, and not reporting it more than once until a
subsequent RPC call succeeds? If you had a lot of NFS work in progress
when the server rebooted you probably would see lots of complaints.

Agreed that the messages seem rather dire -- it may be that other
strange problems will trigger the condition as well.
