I've noticed about 99% of the panics on our machines are the result of NFS, 
more often than not it is the result of a backing store file being blown
away underneath the client.  ie.  person editing a file on one machine, 
compiling and running on a second, then removing the binary on the first
machine.  If we had a working lock manager could we not have the kernel open
a shared lock on anything it had in backing store, would that not assure that
files didn't go poof in the night?
