>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.
