Reading the bug report, *most* people seem to think that it is related

More precisely it seems to be related to how often you mount and umount
remote file systems. You might be okay with a one-off nfs mount. The bug
still seems to be there with the 2174 FC1 kernel, though there was
apparently another SMP bug fixed at around 2166.

Damn it.... I was quite happy believing I was immune untill *you* showed up..... :)

Let's see.. Within 1 minute of starting typing the following, my uptime was reset to 0... :(

while (true) do
mount <nfs filesystem> <loc>
ls -alFR <loc> > /dev/null
umount <loc>
sleep 5
done

Well, at least it's repeatable... :)
