This patch makes the previously posted test work for me, but I'm
experiencing a differenct NFS regression between 2.4 and 2.6. Whatever
locking method that gnome2 is using when running home directories over
nfs is failing when the client is running 2.6. Tried it again, using
2.6.0-test3 + the above patch, and the results are the same. Gnome
reports that it failed to lock it's test file, and aborts. It says that
the error was "no locks available", but I'm not sure whether to believe
that or not. The only differece is booting between 2.4.x and 2.6.x, and
it doesn't matter whether the server is running 2.4 or 2.6. Any suggestions?
