Interesting NFS problems

Here's the deal, hopefully some of you guys can help me figure this one
out because I'm stumped.
I am mounting 3 NFS partitions at boot-time with a script on a ultra 1
with solaris 8, patched, it works great on identical installs on 3 other
ultra 1's we have. Performance wise and functionality wise, using NFS
works great. Except that every few days, the system is OVERCOME with
syslog messages, ssh shuts down or at least stops accepting connections
and I have to use stop-a to get it to stop spewing messages on the
console:

Mar 6 08:08:47 hostnameofnfsclient nfs: NFS write error on host
nfsserver: Invalid argument.
Mar 4 07:06:52 hostnameofnfsclient nfs: NFS write error on h
Mar 6 08:08:47 hostnameofnfsclient nfs: (file handle: cabaebfe 11000000
2000000 41030000 4103
Mar 4 07:06:52 hostnameofnfsclient nfs: (file handle: cabaebfe 1100000
0000 2000000 30dde0fb 0)
Mar 6 08:08:47 hostnameofnfsclient nfs: NFS write error on host
nfsserver: Invalid argument. 0)
Mar 4 07:06:52 hostnameofnfsclient nfs: NFS write error on h
Mar 6 08:08:47 hostnameofnfsclient last message repeated 1 time

Mar 6 08:08:47 hostnameofnfsclient nfs: (file handle: cabaebfe 11000000
2000000 41030000 410303

What could this be? None of the other solaris boxes do this. For
information, I'm mounting the NFS partitions with this command:

mount -F nfs -o "rsize=1024,wsize=1024,nosuid,retry=3,vers=3"
nfsserver:/nfsroot/nfspath /localmountpoint

The NFS server is linux. Which might explain a few things, but not
this... As the other solaris NFS clients work just fine.
