What happens if you first move away your .listen directory? It's entirely
possible that yours became corrupt for some reason and mine didn't.

I'm using the NFS kernel server, too. I don't think anybody uses the NFS user
server anymore; it hasn't been developed for years either.

In general, I'd try to isolate if this is a feature of your NFS setup in
general, or your specific .listen directory (probably media.db). What happens
if you copy the .listen directory to somewhere on non-NFS, set $HOME to that
place and the run listen? Also, does this happen _every_ time or can you run
listen a few times before the database goes bonkers? You don't access the
database from multiple hosts at the same time, do you?
