I got similar results with 1.3.72 (plus repeated Socket destroy
delayed messages). It looks unhealthy to me.

Go back to the original v1.03 driver and apply the patches for 1.3.73.
I haven't gotten any error messages so far with it (compiling several
kernels and libc over NFS).

On a side note, the latest binutils (2.6.0.10 as of this writing)
looks like an improvement too. I was having very bad luck with a
constantly crashing XEmacs (linked with 2.6.0.2) until I relinked it.
