Hey Steve, The following fixes a problem with mountd where you get backed up behind the rmtab lock. It may have happened that an xflock timed out and stat failed so the filedescriptor was leaked in mountlist_list and the lock never released. Skipping the fdatasync has also helped performance-wise. Tested very lightly on TOT and more heavily on 1.0.7 where this bug was discovered.
