Yes, it may be just covering a bug. Still, it made the connection work, and that was enough for me. Also, the linux NFS faq at nfs.sourceforge.net suggests using TCP in some situations (namely when the network has a large number of IP fragmentation). So, be it a mere work-around or not, it still helped me. If there's a better and purer solution, I'm more than happy to use it. Meanwhile, I use what works.
