Bug#184157: libc6: Locking problems over NFS

[Vincent Bernat <bernat@free.fr>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-14
Severity: important

Hello,

New glibc from testing seems to have heavy problems to lock a file
through NFS. For example, I get with procmail errors like :

procmail: Kernel-lock failed

With bogofilter :

[0] Error acquiring blocking read lock on /home/bernat/.bogofilter/goodlist.db

These errors did not appear once with glibc 2.2.5-14. NFS server is a
Debian/sid and nlockmgr is running on it.

/proc/mounts reports :
neo:/home /home nfs rw,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,udp,lock,addr=neo
