For the sake of spreading the knowledge around, I've also got a couple 
of reports of -5 (which has an earlier set of Trond's client patches) 
and vanilla 2.4.18 getting D state stuck processes in lock_page on NFS 
mounts.  There's no useful data point beyond that, but it looks like a 
request is getting lost somewhere.
