[ale] Odd Network issue?

[Robert L. Harris]

Situation:

3 linux clients mount a linux NFS share, cd to /tmp/mnt/data/dir.

Do an "ls" and 3-5 lines return just fine.  Do an "ls -laR" and it
returns about 50 lines then hangs.  After 5-10 minutes it returns the
difference.

A sniffer trace generates a "TTL" error on reassembling fragmented
packets until it decides to return the rest of the data.

Has anyone seen anything like this?  The boxes are Redhat 6.0 with
kernel 2.2.12, Redhat 7.0 running 2.2.16 and Debian Sid running 2.4.17.

Theories?
