Great; this is the kind of bug report I like to get :)
We've had Mucho Trouble here with Linux as an NFS _server_;
moving to linux-2.4.X seems to have greatly improved
In local.glasgow-haskell-bugs, I wrote:

I guess a standard question would be:
On several Linux machines
where my home directory is mounted by NFS from a Solaris machine,
I get the following behaviour both in ghc and ghci:
Directory.getDirectoryContents will throw an error on any directory in
"NFS-space", so even *calling* ghc or ghci causes problems:
ghc won't compile
