Subject:   Dumping core over NFS

We have a strange problem in 6.2 that we're wondering if anyone else has se=
en. If a process is dumping core to an NFS-mounted directory, sending SIGIN=
T, SIGTERM, or SIGKILL to that process causes NFS to wedge. The nfs_asyncio=
 starts complaining that 20 iods are already processing the mount, but noth=
ing makes any forward progress.

Sending SIGUSR1, SIGUSR2, or SIGABRT seem to work fine, as does any signal =
if the core dump is going to a local filesystem.

Before I dig into this apparent deadlock, just wondering if it's been seen =
before.
