Then, unfortunately, we are talking about different problems.  Even
though I upgraded the NFS server machine to 1.5Q, as of 2001/01/06,
it still panics, as I mentioned in my previous message, with messages
from softdep_write_inodeblock, triggered by some operation in nfsd.
The only difference from the behaviour of 1.5P is that I got an extra
message a few minutes _before_ the panic:

	ffs_fsync: dirty: tag 1 type VREG, usecount 1, writecount 0, refcount 1,
		tag VT_UFS, ino 892802, on dev 0, 8 flags 0x0, effnlink 1, nlink 1
		mode 0100644, owner 1001, group 256, size 196608 lock type vnlock: EXCL (count 1) by pid 132

At that moment, I was running Netscape Messenger in a 1.5P (2000/12/24)
NFS client machine.  Then, after a few (two or three) folder switches,
I evenually got the panic message.

	panic: softdep_write_inodeblock: direct pointer #7 mismatch 0 != 3569544
	Stopped in pid 132 (nfsd) at    cpu_Debugger+0x4:       leave
	db> continue
	syncing disks... panic: lockmgr: locking against myself

And after reboot, I got this from gdb:
