  No, I'm not running NFS. My filesystem is used as a home directory for
users running GNOME desktops, so there are some pretty complex programs
accessing it.

  After some experimentation, I've found a reliable way to reproduce the
assertion involving opening a file twice and attempting to lock it on
both filehandles - more details in bugzilla.
