I am getting the ``double lock on device queue'' on a kernel without
any module support whatsoever -- most recently was 16-May (1.99.4).

What I don't understand about the ``socket destroy delayed'' spew is
why I'm only getting one stuck socket. It doesn't take more than an
hour or two of uptime to start, so it would seem logical that more
sockets would get stuck as well, but they don't.
