Don't I know it!

I couldn't get that to stay up for long, either. It usually says things like
"Ack! Gack! svc_run returned!" and mountd quits. This is the mountd which came
with Red Hat 4.2 - I tried upgrading it once, a while ago, but couldn't find a
newer one, and a recompile didn't help.

Is anyone running a stable NFS server on 2.1.5x kernels?
