Attached is a diff that adds locking to fileassoc(9). It fixes two
panics that I can easily trigger through Veriexec.

A version of it (earlier? can't remember) was discussed here:

   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2009/12/26/msg006703.html

I don't find the "it's not perfect" line of reasoning convincing, so
my recommendation is to check it in. It's filed so it doesn't get
lost.
