NFS Locking Issue

I guess I'm still just a bit stunned that a bug this obvious not only
found it's way into the STABLE branch, but is still there. Maybe it's
not as obvious as I think, or not many folks are using it? All I know
for sure here is that if I had upgraded to 6.1 my network would have
been crippled.

Strange, since i upgraded to FreeBSD-6.1 and the NFS server to Fedora Core 5,
my machine, NFS client is happy, and lockd works. It is first time since
years i have no problem. It certainly did not work with FreeBSD-5 and i still
have a machine with FreeBSD-6.0 which does not work properly (frequently loses
the NFS mount, but it gets remounted some times later by amd). Anyways i have
exactly 0 problem with the 6.1 machine. I could extend that to say that
everything works very well on that machine, nothing is slow, including disk
access. This has not always been the case. Stability wise, i have not seen any
panic, hang or whatever since i have compiled a kernel adapted to my hardware.
I got a panic with the generic kernel soon after installation, but now
machine is totally stable.
