I'm almost getting blasé about ultrafast solutions to NFS bugs by
now. I submit a problem report and it turns out it's already been
fixed or will be in fifteen minutes. :)

I have to wait for a RAID resync first *sigh* but after that I'll try
the patches out. I'll know in four hours or so... (the problem is
relatively rare: it takes ten or so postgresql 'make check' runs to
trigger it.)
