Ping ... sorry to be a bother.  I've finally gotten some time allocated 
to look at this at the code level, but I'm unfamiliar with the XFS 
implementation, and I believe this problem arises as an interaction 
between XFS and NFS, which causes me heartburn.  I'll report here if I 
discover anything meaningful.
