Public bug reported:

We do observe client hangs with NFS4 on the following occasions:

- a network outage 
- a server outage
- an expiration of a kerberos ticket.

The Server is an SL 5.5 machine with latest kernel


We often see the following errors in /var/log/messages on the client:

After that error message the processes are unkillable, the client sends a 
packet storm to the server and apport hangs too, so I had to report this 
manually.

If you need any further information, please ask. The problem is really
urgent for us.
