 I just took a quick look at this, and I noticed that the ftpd process that
 held the lock was also in vnlock waiting for a different vnode.  If you
 can find the process holding that lock the next time, it would be 
 interesting to see what it's waiting for.  It may be that the process 
 holding the lock on the second vnode is waiting for a lock on the first 
 locked vnode.
