after several months of flawless operation, codasrv has decided to
behave oddly again. this has happened twice in the last two days, so
i'm not prepared to dismiss it as a fluke.

the problem is that codasrv will freeze, apparently unbind all its
connections, and refuse to do much of anything. the only way to get it
running again is to kill -9 codasrv, and restart everything.

what's curious is that before the freeze, i see several of these:

07:23:44 ****** WARNING entry at 0x8188a18 already has deqing set!

until all the connections are dropped:

07:25:00 Worker2: Unbinding RPC connection 3289
07:25:00 Worker2: Unbinding RPC connection 4364
07:25:00 Worker2: Unbinding RPC connection 11512

i ran gdb against codasrv, and here's where it said it was:

(gdb) where
#0  0x420e187e in select () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
#1  0x4008a28c in __DTOR_END__ () from /usr/lib/liblwp.so.2
#2  0x400860d9 in IOMGR (dummy=0x0) at iomgr.c:356
#3  0x40087f56 in Create_Process_Part2 () at lwp.c:796
(gdb) quit


the server is running coda-server-6.0.3 on linux 2.4.20 (redhat 7.3)
rpc2-1.20, lwp-1.10.

my coda clients are all running coda-client-6.0.2 on linux 2.4.22 (redhat 8)
rpc2-1.19, lwp-1.10.
