Which version of the linux NFS server?  knfsd or the userspace daemon?

In order of probability:

* Bad knfsd.  Never trust knfsd.  Ever.
* NFSv3 is being attempted.  NFSv3 does not work properly on Linux.
* NFS packet length is nonstandard.  Try restricting size to 8192.
* Network duplex issue.
* Sunspots.
