[svlug] fcntl lock

[Robert L. Harris]

  This is starting to drive me nuts.  I recently moved my home directory to
my NFS server for my machine doing mail.  Everything is fine, except mutt.
When I start mutt I get a "Waiting for fcntl lock" and it errors saying
it can't lock.  At first this didn't seem to be too much of a problem, 
until I tried to save an email to my mail archive, on the NFS mounted 
partition.  I got the same error and the file won't save.

  I can touch files, modify them all I want, etc from shell.  Netscape is
saving it's cache files also.  

  This is a debian unstable box, latest updates.  I'm running kernel
2.4.2 on all my boxes.  I'm not getting any errors anywhere either.

Thoughts?
