Following myself up - I didn't look at the bugzilla link earlier - updated
t-bird at home the other day, and the click link to open it in browser
doesn't work - but looked at it here, and it doesn't seem to be related -
this is a backup server, and only had a home directory mounted when I
ssh'd in. It does appear to have been the case suggested in the thread
I've mentioned - there's no entry in the logfile after I restarted
nfslock.
