I have been seeing similar, and reproducible, behavior. I'm running
2.1.119-pre1 on a Dell dual PII, NFS mounting a disk from an IBM server. The
disk is mounted `hard,intr'. I start tar'ing a directory to the disk, interrupt
with a ^C, and the machine locks up. This works without problem (i.e., no
lockup) if I use a UP NFS client. It has this way since at least 2.1.116
(possibly much before that). I've also tried 117ac[1,2,3] and saw the same
behavior.
