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...
