Well, if TCP is supported (and even is the default!) I think it should work. I 
see switching to UDP as a workaround that I was lucky to find. There is no 
sense in accepting that a provided feature (NFS4 over TCP) does not work 
reliably. It would be better remove it, so other people don't fall into this 
trap (now I'm a bit provocative, I know)!
The best would be to keep this bug report open until more data can be gathered 
which might lead to a proper fix. A fortunate side effect of the present bug 
report is that it serves as documentation of a workaround for others that just 
need to get the thing to work. That's part of the reason I wrote a descriptive 
title.
On a side note, I realize that there may be an underlying problem in the TCP 
implementation, but NFS4 should not block completely even in that case.
