Thank you, that is good to know. In the end we worked around it by
moving the MySQL socket to a local directory. This was not perfect
because accidentally starting KMail on a second machine, while logged
in on the first, caused havoc in fun ways, but it did get rid of the
occasional "I've lost my mail" NFS+MySQL fun.
