Hi folks,
I just noticed the following WARNING in my logs. Looking through the
older logs, I see quite a few of these going (at least) all the way back
to 3.3.x days. The process which triggers the warning always seems to
be the same (icecat).
This is on a Linux 3.5.2 NFSv4 client machine using sec=krb5. Other
than the log noise, there seems to be no adverse effects.

FWIW, I'm still seeing this on 3.7.0; this time on a machine with NFSv3
mounts and sec=sys. Still apparently caused by firefox/icecat.
