We have some SL5.0 boxes that do not behave properly....

Your investigation suggests that the exact sequence in which things 
start is critical.  You have to start lockd but then not use it until it 
has been configured.  That's very fragile, but could easily survive a 
few rounds of testing - don't the awkward bugs always do that?

For now, I'm sticking with configuring  modprobe...
