Not expected by me.

I can't tell whether that's related or not. The only significant NFS problem 
I can remember before this, once I originally figured out what little I 
needed to figure out about NFS eons ago when setting up a LAN for the first 
time, had to do with rpcbind replacing portmap.

The problem with that is I can't tell what the difference is between the 
systems with the problem and those without. Also I haven't tried to keep up 
with which do or don't. I have roughly 10 each with F21 and with Rawhide. 
Lately it seems as though the problem may be disappearing on its own as the 
updates keep coming in.
