vi hanging in 5.1

I have installed (from scratch) a few V5.1 and V5.1a machines.
Each of these machines has the same following problem:
When NFS mounting a filesystem (automount,autofs,hard)
from a NettApp, vi'ing an existing file hangs. The file data
eventually comes up in the xterm...about 10 minutes later.

trace produces the following:
.
.
dup (6) = 7 [hang point]
flock (6,LOCK_SH|LOCK_NB) = 0 [much later]

file comes up. At the bottom of the xterm screen I see:
"File opened by another process"
--------------
If I disable NFS locking in rc.config.common, things work as expected.
4.0X machines work just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
