I discovered what triggers this bug. If I have default export with secure
option and I try to connect from insecure port, it produces the oops.
If I add insecure option to the export, no oops at all and mount succeeds.

Also, the bug is not triggered by the first attempt but by the second one.

So I guess that from the first attempt there is something inserted into gss
context cache - error occurs (insecure attempt with the secure option), gss
context is removed from the cache as invalid but not completely. And the
second attempt does oops. Sounds reasonable for me.

Hope this helps to find the bug.
