Why does the desktop freeze whenever an NFS share fails? I have set

Luckily I have Yakauke running, so I can at least get to a console. But
of course the NFS mount cannot be umounted if it doesn't respond.
Also I assumed the setting shares to intr, soft would prevent other
software from hanging if the share stops responding. Is that not so? Or
is there another setting I am not aware of?
Any ideas how to prevent this from happening?
It not *that* different to when a (mounted) disk stops working. I'd
recommend focusing on simply avoiding that situation.
