NFS problems after upgrade to 770 kernel

[Bikehead]

I noticed some odd behavior after upgrading to the most recent kernel.  
I'm not sure it was the kernel upgrade or other recent updates.  My 
problem is with a crossover office installation running microsoft word: 
reading and writing to files on an nfs mounted directory now takes a 
very long time (about 2 minutes).  I get the log entries below on the 
NFS server; the 192.168.1.102 is the ip address of the client machine.  
When I access the file using open office there is no delay so it seems 
to be something in the way the file is accessed by that program.

Any ideas what could be causing this?  Like I said it was working fine 
until about a couple days ago. I do have a firewall in place on the NFS 
server machine, but it is open to all communication from the client.  
Also /etc/host.allow has an entry for ALL that allows the 192.168.1.x 
subnet.
