The NFS code wants to go; I thought I had it reliable, but the changes
to the tradindexed code broke it, largely because it exposed bugs
which existed in the previous tradindexed implementation (in
particular you can't mmap and lock a file at the same time on Solaris,
which was the only platform I ever tested it on).

I'll post a patch (the cvs details I have don't seem to work any more :(
