I agree.  It looks like we have several issues floating around.  There are 
some known issues with rpc.lockd (and probably some unknown ones) that will 
require a concerted effort to resolve.  There appear to be a number of reports 
relating to this/these problems.

It sounds like there is also an NFS client race condition or other bug of some 
sort.

I think it would be really useful to isolate the two during debugging. 
Specifically, to make sure that the second client bug is reproduceable without 
rpc.lockd running on the client (and related mount flags).  Once we have some 
more information, such as vnode locking information, client thread stack 
traces, etc, we should probably get Mohan in the loop if things seem sticky. 
I believe he was on vacation last week; he may be back this week sometime. 
With the July 4 weekend afoot, a lot of .us developers are offline.
