I was trying to change over to using nfsv4 from nfsv3 and hit a problem 
with VLC. after some strace digging I came up with a test program that 
has the same effect and works on nfs3 but hangs on nfsv4.

Even more interesting when run on a nfsv4 mounted home directory it is 
no longer possible to open new connections in google-chrome so the error 
is visible not only for the test program but probably all program that 
does locking after this program is started on the same mount. or 
something I have not investigated what really happens.

anyway the program is below and it hangs on last the line "ret = 
"fcntl(fd, F_SETLK, &fl);" if run on a nfsv4 mount.

server; debain 9.5 with kernel version 4.9 or 4.17.0-0.bpo.1-amd64.

client: ubuntu 18.04. kernel 4.18.0-041800rc6-generic
