Okay, here's another question: if I initiate a request on an open fid, such
as a read, and then clunk the fid immediately afterwards but before getting
a reply for the read and without flushing the read, what should happen?
Should a clunk implicitly do a flush for all outstanding transactions on a
fid, or should the read complete normally?

The client would be in error by telling the server that the file
represented by the fid was no longer needed when it clearly is.
However, most server implementations complete the read normally.
