Spent again some time looking through the git commits and that 
triggered some wild guessing:

- commit ddebb0c3dc7d0b87c402ba17731ad41abdd43f2d ?
  It is a temporary fix for 2.6.26, which is additionally based on
  a kludge and I'm trying 2.6.27/28. Might be not appropriate anymore 
  for these kernels?

- commit d9c3e59e90437567d063144bcfdbbc9fe6e8d615 ?
  (and other noatime related commits)
  Noatime handling and I do use noatime.
  Hm, I could try to start mailman without noatime and we'll see
  what happens.

- commit ff7d89bfe60ed041d9342c8c9d91815c1f3d3bef ?
  gfs1-specific lock module, a huge patch.
  I could restore the gfs2_*lock* functions and check whether it helps.

- commit 82d176ba485f2ef049fd303b9e41868667cebbdb
  gfs_drop_inode as .drop_inode replacing .put_inode.
  .put_inode was called without holding a lock, but .drop_inode
  is called under inode_lock held. Might it be a problem?

What do you think?

Best regards,
Jozsef
