I have just loaded the patchkit 0.2.2 on a "virgin" system. Because
of the extra disk space taken by the full /usr/src tree I am now 
trying to mount my XFree86 directory across NFS from a SUN SPARC machine.
Problem is that whenever I try to run X (or indeed any other program) through
NFS the shell hangs, I can't kill off the process even with a -9.

I can do ls -Rl happily on the NFS mounted directory but a "file *" command 
fails on the first or second file.....


Did these sort of problems exist with NFS prior to patchkit 0.2.2? 


I noticed a good number of patches for NFS in the patchkit version 0.2.2.

Anyone got any ideas?
