i've seen this for years in various forms
but it had never happened regularly enough
to track down, and it was never clear that it
was the kernel's fault (and not, say, the 9p server).

if you want to look for the problem, you might
find it easier in 9vx.  i see it in 9vx all the time
if i interrupt an outstanding 9p message by
typing DEL.  9fs sources; ls /n/sources; DEL
on a slow connection, for example.
