Just a little...
It now takes a little longer for the system to freeze, but eventally it 
will.
The coalesced messages did not return.

Just out of curiosity is also plugged in an fxp-card.
And there it takes even longer for the system to freeze, but in the end 
it does freeze.

The "funny" part is it once in a while is revivable by going into the 
kernel-debugger and then just continue.
Sometimes a long wait (10 sec) will suffice, during which there is no 
keyboard response what so ever.
But on other instances the system is dead in the water, and only a 
hardware reset gets it back.

Something I'm still wondering if this only is with NFS traffic, or with 
all other types of network traffic. But I haven't tested thids.
