thanks for the heads-up! Yes, I noticed that issue, and the fileserver 
patches in this SRPM are in there because it scares me. I had some hope 
that it was sorted out already, but that was before I just read your last 
reply in RT...

If this problem still persists when SL5 is about to be released, I 
can provide a 1.4.4 package with most of the bug fixes that went into 
1.4.5 (see the changelog). This one had serious testing in our cell, 
on many clients and a dozen production fileservers, with not a single 
fileserver problem on record - but then we don't have 200 
"XtendedProblems" clients rebooting at the same time...

Cheers,
 	Stephan
