To those concerned: it turned out that this was a fairly old bug in
unfsd's file handle cache. A fixed version (2.2beta23) is now available
from ftp://ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de:/pub/linux/okir . It should
also fix some netgroup problems people have reported.

If people who have been seeing the above problems could please try it
and tell me whether it works as expected. If it does, I'll finally
release it as 2.3.

Cheers
Olaf
