When the non-idempotent reply can not be placed in the duplicate request
cache, we call svcerr_systemerr() which places SYSTEM_ERR in the reply
ar_stat; This has the effect to cause the client to re-drive the call,
in the hopes that the duplicate request cache congestion has passed.

The unresponsiveness is most likely to be due to the clients having
to re-drive the requests. Increasing the size of the duplicate request
cache as Spencer suggests and see if that helps.
