That restarting your firewall/portmapper fixed it. You sourself said that.
That means somthing on that side didn't work correctly.

Proof? I doubt that. It's not even a crash, just a hang, so maybe a DOS. And 
even then,
if someone broke your nfs/firwall/portmapper per purpose (and he'd need root 
for that) you
already have a problem....
