Yes, before I did that the errors occurred much more frequently;
there's definitely something in that, but as Russ points out, the fix
prevents panics and I have yet to see a panic.

I have a suspicion that we're looking at the wrong problem, but I
don't know how to approach it.

I tried acid, but I'm just not familiar enough with it to make it
work.  I tried

	rumble% acid 2052 /bin/exportfs
	/bin/exportfs:386 plan 9 executable
	/sys/lib/acid/port
	/sys/lib/acid/386
	acid: src(0xf01e7377)
	no source for ?file?

and that's where I have to leave it for the time being.  But
suggestions are welcome, I'll be back here at the end of the day (it's
07:00 now, I expect to be back after 19:00).
