This was a bug in some earlier versions of knfsd. It should have been
fixed in 2.2.14 if I remember correctly. Certainly rebooting the
server using the same kernel should not result in garbage errors
assuming you haven't done something to invalidate the mount point file
handle (such as changing the device, rm -rf mntpoint; mkdir
mntpoint). The latter will be a problem on almost any server though.
