Repeatable crash under 2.6.13.2 + NFS

Simply copy some files *over NFS* from box1 to box2.
Or tar them, I did both.
The remote machine locks and freezes, no console output.
Copied 206MB before the MB/s went to 0 and crashed the remote box.
Nasty bug. SCP works fine.
I've reported this before w/ .config etc but nobody responded.

It still occurs.

The nastiest part of all is, when the box that crashed is rebooting, it WILL NOT COME BACK up *IF* the machine that was sending the files to it is up.

It is almost like box1 (client) is sending some deadly packets to the other box and it cannot come up (it freezes after it initializes the NIC) until the other box is rebooted/shut down or disconnected from the network.
