The problem was, I think, mainfested by the changes to kern_exec.c
which were applied to -current only, and not to -stable.

I believe -stable still uses the vn_rdwr (without the necessary call
to LEASE_CHECK, of course, the better to break NFS...).  In normal
operation, this problem should never manifest in -stable.
