Changing /etc/fstab fixed the problem.  The original /etc/fstab had this
line:

> <nfs servername>:/home /home nfs rw,user 0 0

I deleted the "user" option, so the line is now:

> <nfs servername>:/home /home nfs rw 0 0

This fixed the problem.  But why?

After reading the mount manpage more closely, I now recall that "user"
implies "noexec" unless otherwise specified. 

Sorry for bothering the list...
