Then the build froze. I couldn't very well ignore *that*. Perhaps I
couldn't blame XEmacs after all.

It just happened again. It's reproducibly triggered, at least on this
system, by the ocaml-3.09.02 configure script running over NFS (probably
NFS over UDP is necessary as well).

... also triggered by running a CVS update on a large tree, and pretty
much by doing anything heavy-duty with NFS on UDP at all.

NFS on TCP is, as expected, unaffected by this bug.
