I have received only one reply. The sender told me that he got similiar
problem
but do not have any solutions.

We have switched the NFS and other services to another server with almost
identical configuration. Up to now, the problem never occurs again.

We, together with staff from SunService, have done many testings, but
the problem could not be reproduced. The reasons causing this problem are
still unknown.
