I *never* run anything that requires NFS locking unless something in our build tree does. This means I don't export mail disks to multiple boxes which can write on it, and sendmail is the stock mailer I use (which doesn't come into the picture on the affected machines). I was running a 'make release' on a local disk which was setup to build the distribution on an NFS mounted disk. The box is running some variant of -stable released after Nov. 1 + more recent patches brought into the tree. (Can't wait for the actual 2.1 release bits *grin*) In any case, I'll patch my kernel with the supplied patch and see if it makes a difference. Thanks! Nate
