no, the list was no help. The problem was that the client had nfs-mounted a 
disk that was no longer on the net, so anything that iterated over mounts (like 
df) was hanging. That is probably why reboot solve it. I don't allow key 
machines to be nfs clients anymore.

Jeremy,

Did anyone respond off-list to your posting?  I have the same problem 
here from time to time and the only way I've been able to correct is by 
rebooting the offending client system.
