>Description:
	Many programs (such as mutt and the GNOME panel) that try to
	lock files on remote file systems exhibit various problems
	since NFS client-side locking was implemented.

	Specifically: mutt hangs when trying to lock the mailbox,
	and GNOME panel hangs (in fifoow) when trying to save its
	configuration file.

	The NFS servers are Solaris 2.6 and 2.8 boxen.

	I understand that this PR is very vague, but if anyone can suggest
	more specific tests, I'll be glad to experiment and report more
	precise results.

Please bring this issue up on -current. Because -current 
is a development branch, it's generally not considered 
a good subject of PR's.

 I am still seeing this problem on -CURRENT as of:

 I have done a few tests and was unable to reproduce the problem,
 so it definitely looks good. I'll continue testing for a few days
 and report the results.
 
 Thanks for taking care of this issue!
 Thomas.

 Still no problem, so I guess this PR can be closed. :)
