I have not been tough enough to even try 6.x on our busy NFS servers yet, so I did not know this problem existed. This is what you get for not taking the time to test future releases I guess :-/ I will put RELENG_6 with this patch on one of them next week and report back ASAP! Does anyone have a test-case that will provoke the problem at will, so I can make some tests in a controlled environment before I put it out in the wild? Frode Nordahl frode@nordahl.net
