I ran dclock through Purify, and found a bug which looks like it could
cause this (an uninitialized variable, which explains why it only
happens sometimes).  Assuming I'm right, the problem should be fixed
(for Suns, anyway, which is where we've been getting most reports) as
soon as the sipb locker is released tonight from the read-write copy,
which should be sometime tonight.

Thanks for the reports.
