Mozilla was locking up - windows wouldn't update, etc., for a 
couple minutes.  Other applications didn't seem to be affected, 
and the problem only started after switching from user- to 
kernel-space NFS servers.

But I now think it's an unrelated hardware issue - the system 
rebooted without explanation a couple times... and sometimes got 
hung up during the reboot.  I reseated everything and it seems to 
work fine now.  The other sessions would have been unaffected 
since the current directory was in a local partition.

But in the meanwhile I've been thinking that AFS may be a better 
fit for me anyway.  Unfortunately I can't seem to compile the 
(OpenAFS) kernel module.  *sigh*
