Hi Nathan,

your fix seems to work for me. I've been able to reproduce (with January patches) these Stuck D processes when md5summing a 1GB+ File over NFS, while the NFS Server(XFS 1.2-pre1)is under heavy load (about 10). Latest cvs on client cide seems to do fine for me, but I will do some further tests and see what'll happen...
