I used to run NMC on the server, but started having so many problems with
jobs not finishing, that I finally moved it off onto a separate client ...
and all my problems went away. Apparently, if you have more than about 40
clients (I have 90+), then running NMC on the server can cause many issues.
This was on 7.4.5, I believe.

I had posted here about that, at the time. You might find it in the
archives.
