Huh...

Looks like the flc_flock list wasn't empty when we went to go free the
inode. I don't see how that would happen right offhand, but I'll keep
looking at it.

Just to be clear -- were there any "exotic" filesystems involved here?
In particular any that define a ->flock inode operation (e.g. NFS) ?

Thanks for the report...
