I used loopback mounts to test NFS make worlds a while ago (there were
places where make world would bomb because chflags doesn't work on
NFS) and experienced deadlock problems. Somebody (I don't remember who
exactly) told me that this was a known problem with the NFSv3 code;
reading over loopback mounts works fine, but writing apparently
results in deadlocks. Search the archives; the commit logs should give
you an idea of when this was (check the logs for Makefiles that use
chflags).
