X session is freezing on redhat 7.3

[Simran H.]

Hi Guys,

I have a redhat 7.3 workstation that is giving me some problems.  The user
home directories are being nfs mounted on this machine and seem to have no
problems.  However, when users logging through X and write a file into
their home directories somewhere the X session seems to just freeze up and
not respond.  I am able to login through ssh just fine.  I am seeing the
following error messages and I am not sure how to proceed.  Any help would
be appreciated.

uname -a
Linux buckbeak 2.4.20-24.7smp #1 SMP Mon Dec 1 13:18:03 EST 2003 i686 unknown
