Also, I *can* reproduce it using the same NFS server and a FreeBSD
14.2 client.  At least with this pair of machines, the behavior seems
deterministic: "createdb foo" followed by "dropdb foo" leaves the
same set of not-dropped files behind each time.  I added a bit of
debug logging to rmtree.c and verified that it's not seeing anything
odd happening, except that readdir never returns anything about the
missed files.

I will file a bug report, unless you already did?
