BUGS
     Due to a lock order reversal (LOR) with the socket layer, the use of t=
he
     group and user filter parameter in conjuction with a Giant-free netsta=
ck
     can result in a deadlock.  If you have to use group or user you must s=
et
     debug.mpsafenet to ``0'' from the loader(8), for the moment.  This wor=
k-
     around will still produce the LOR, but Giant will protect from the dea=
d-
     lock.

I am afraid this is what bites you.
