Userland NFS Server broken?

I am running latest 2.2.2pre2 kernel,
with RedHat-5.2 underneath, plus many updates.

I've been having trouble for a while now
getting a FreeBSD-2.2.7 box to play nicely
over NFS with my Linux Box acting as server.

Things just lock up with "NFS server not responding" messages.

So.. I tried doing this on the Linux box, so it talks to itself:

mount localhost:/ /a
mount localhost:/ /b
dd if=/dev/zero of=/a/junk bs=1024k count=1024
diff /a/junk /b/junk
diff /a/junk /b/junk
...

And it *usually* locks up in short order with the same error
(NFS server not responding). Sometimes it fails sooner when
I use a second window to do something like: "ls -R /a"

This is with knfsd support NOT configured into the kernel,
so everything is standard userland stuff.

Shouldn't this work?
