Ah!  Just experienced a short freeze (it seemed like about 5 secs) while
lock profiling was enabled.

The profile from the last minute is here:
    http://opal.com/jr/freebsd/releng_7-freeze/200801121331-unknown.txt

There's an almost 4 second wait_avg for:
    /usr/src/sys/sys/buf.h:280 (lockmgr:bufwait)

I had exactly the same mix of programs open as shown above.
