- We found this was caused by a Sun on the same network bombing the decstation
- with lockd packets. We do a tcpdump (or etherfind) to find which one is
- doing it, then kill the lockd and restart it (on the sun.) It's possible
- that one of the sun patches fixes this problem, I just havent got around to
- applying them yet.
