I expect this is easy to reproduce at will (when shutting down nfs
services, probably), right?

Please try the latest mainline -git kernel (say 2.6.23-rc1-git10 from
kernel.org) and let us know if this still occurs? There were some fixes
regarding sysfs symlink refcounting that went in recently, and this looks
like one of those cases to me.


Thanks,
Satyam
