Ok, that's good to know.
However, using udp mounts, I experienced the mount point and terminal
lockups that the OP mentioned when the mount did not succeed.
I finally tracked it down to the fact that I was connecting to the
non-default ip address of a host with multiple ip addresses without
using the -c flag to mount_nfs. I realise that is was my own fault, but
I would not expect the lockup situation.
