-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simultaneously to my question to the list I contacted DEC customer support
people in Germany. Soon I have posted the chrash data for ananlysis to my
local DEC service and I was told, that this problem looks like a known
error on the NFS 3.0 client(see the mail from Andrew).
Last night I have got the patch from DEC.
