Last time this discussion came up, Bruce found some info in the debian mail 
archive related to this. Can't find it now, though. If I remember correctly, 
the problem is that flock/fcntl locking on NFS mounted filesystems can cause 
complete lockup ( :-) ) of the process.

                        cheers,
                                Lukas
