NFS stop/start problems (related to datagram shutdown bug?)

Seems recently, on both redhat 6.1 and 7.0 using kernel 2.4.1-ac3, I
ran into this problem:

Stopping NFS says the following in the kernel logs:

nfsd: terminating on signal 9
nfsd: terminating on signal 9
nfsd: terminating on signal 9
nfsd: terminating on signal 9
nfsd: terminating on signal 9
nfsd: terminating on signal 9
nfsd: terminating on signal 9
nfsd: terminating on signal 9
svc: server socket destroy delayed

And restarting NFS has the following error message:

root:~> /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: nfssvc: Address already in use
[FAILED]

is rebooted, and other machines respond during a 'mount' by saying,

nfs: server xxx not responding, still trying

When I tried this, the remote computer had unmounted this NFS-served partition
prior to shutting NFS down with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop'. I was wondering if
this could be related to that datagram shutdown bug, and maybe if there's a
quick solution in the meantime to kill the socket so that I can restart NFS
without rebooting.

Thanks,
Byron
