Nothing particular : my home is NFS mounted from a Solaris 2.5.1
at work and from a RH 4.2/UNFSD at home.

Simply logging as 'danis', then 'su', 'exit' and that's it !
I have no problem with 2.2.6-ac1, 2.2.7-ac1 and stock 2.2.9.
100% reproductible. Hit RESET button and wait 10 minutes or
more during fsck.

If I do not issue 'su', I can run iozone over NFS, and it hangs
quite quickly.
