We have a strange problem in 6.2 that we're wondering if anyone else has seen. 
If a process is dumping core to an NFS-mounted directory, sending SIGINT, 
SIGTERM, or SIGKILL to that process causes NFS to wedge. The nfs_asyncio starts 
complaining that 20 iods are already processing the mount, but nothing makes 
any forward progress.

Sending SIGUSR1, SIGUSR2, or SIGABRT seem to work fine, as does any signal if 
the core dump is going to a local filesystem.

Before I dig into this apparent deadlock, just wondering if it's been seen 
before.
