I have similar problem: kernel from May 5 OK; May 9 (and newer) problem: doing quickworld (or buildworld) hangs within a few minutes; ctl-T shows 'clock' state. This happens when /usr/src and /usr/obj NFS mounted; when only /usr/src NFS mounted (/usr/obj UFS): no problem. When build proc. is hung: accessing UFS files works as expected; but proces accessing other NFS mounted file usually also hangs. -thomas
