I might be able to confirm this but not fix it.

I had a dual nic NFS server (both nics in the same subnet and physical lan)

I was issuing a mount to nic1, but nic0 was responding, so I got the NFS
NULL call and a timeout.

The fix was to issue it to nic0.

(This is very likely due to my same subnet setup)
