Sorry, I forgot. No it didn't freeze, it is still gladly running as if
nothing happened.

I took the first line too as to show that it happens 11 seconds after
starting knfsd. It seems that cron is starting at the same time and
squid is rebuilding it's (rather small) cache (I don't think these
have any connection). I have only NFS exports, no NFS mounts.
