I know this is a known problem, but I don't recall seeing it in the
buglists.
Under some circumstances (I suspect flakiness of network or something,
not sure) mount will hang, leaving an inode locked. It can't be
killed, apparently. This is a bad thing, and should probably be
looked at sometime...
This happened today on charon, which is running 6.0A, but I expect it
exists in all versions of the NFS code we've got (unless there are
fixes for 6.0B?).
