I have started using nolock to avoid this problem. It definitely does
seem like a legitimate problem, I'm just not sure where. Maybe I will try
a different kernel on the client. I don't think that will help, because
2.2.11 works fine on my slink client, but not the potato client. I have
to suspect glibc, because that's the only major difference between the
slink and potato clients. They're running the same kernel, and the client
code is the same.

No, I'm using the user space server. What advantages does the kernel
space server have? Performance hasn't really been an issue because of the
small number of clients.
