This could be patch related too .. for example on 11.0 patch PHNE_28567 (ONC/NFS General Release/Performance Patch) addressed some rpc.statd related issues. Among others ..
- hung problem
- core dumps
- memory leaks.
Depending on what version of OS you got, you may want to make sure you got the latest NFS patches.
