Ouch!  I noticed this problem as a system crash while starting netscape
under the condition that it was able to write the lock file (err soft
link), but since it created the link before the kernel panic I thought it
was a strange FreeBSD->Sun NFS v2 oddity with the profile reading and some
sort of file locking problem.

I will build a fresh -current and let you know if it fixes the problem!

Thanks!
