unable to open files from nfs mount

[SteveG]

distro--5.10
Openoffice hangs and must be killed when trying to open a file from an nfs-mounted filesystem. This is absolutely repeatable. Below are the relevant lines from fstab on the client and /etc/exports on the server, if that is of any help. Note that all other apps are able to open files on the same filesystem without problem.

This bug appears to be related to bug #40537.

Please contact me if you need any further information

fstab:
server3.foo.private:/home/sara /home/sara/server_stuff nfs rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid,soft

exports:
/home/sara 192.168.1.0/24(rw)

here is the output of rpcinfo -p on the nfs server
