NFS server doesn't work

Hi all!
I have a problem using nfs. On server startup i can see rpc.mountd in "ps aux" output. Once i try to mount some share this process gets killed. I tried to debug it later with "rpc.mountd -F -d all" and got the following output:
Code: [Select]
rpc.mountd: Version 2.3.4 starting
rpc.mountd: auth_unix_ip: inbuf 'nfsd 192.168.11.1'
rpc.mountd: host_canonname: failed to resolve 192.168.11.1: Name or service not known
zsh: segmentation fault  sudo rpc.mountd -F -d all
192.168.11.1 is client IP, server is on 192.168.11.10.
What could cause this problem and how to solve it?

UPD: the problem is only in rpc.mountd: it falls first without affecting any other process related to NFS. It occurs in nfs-utils 2.3.4-1, downgrading to 2.3.3 solves the problem

P.S. Are there any working 9p servers for linux-to-linux connections?

This error occurs with nfs-utils 2.3.4-1 when /etc/exports contains IP address with '*' symbol
