Hi,

I have been plagued with this NFS lockd issue for quite some time now. It has
kept me from installing FreeBSD 6.x on our workstations at work. I just tried
applying your patch to my own 6.1-RELEASE-p3 workstation, and so far it has
been working nicely. Has anyone else had the same experience? If so, maybe it
should go into production?

with regards,
