[rescue] netbsd getcwd question

On my SS2 with NetBSD, I keep getting the following message:
cd: getcwd() failed: Result too large

I mainly see it when logged in as a normal user working in a file system 
mounted from NFS and going ./configures or makes.  Usually the path that
I started in (who knows where it went in the midst of working), is something
like /export/bsdsrc/apache_1.3.23.

I don't remeber if I've seen this message while working as root on a local
file system, but I'm not sure of that.  However, I haven't been able to
intentionally make the message appear while as root on a local file system.

Is this a serious problem?
