Hi Doug, lockd is runing on both ends.  The problem appears to be with 
the system running out of mbuf clusters when using lockd. [1]  For now 
I'm mounting the particular mount with nolockd as an option to get 
around this.  I've gotten errors with my -STABLE box using this mount 
with lockd enabled but at least the system didn't run out of mbuf 
clusters and lose all network connectivity.
