My crashes were after my NFS client had copied a few hundred MB as well. Copying MP3 files, then doing simple commands locked it up.... This sounds very similar....

My lockup sequence: cd some dir on the NFS client mkdir testfiles cp <some data> testfiles ln -s testfiles testfiles-1 rm testfiles-1 mv testfiles testfiles-1 ls testf*
It will usually hang here.... Sounds like a similar problem. Did you get any messages on your console prior to lockup? Also, you might try the ikd patch and print %eip (on the console).
