Hey all-
	I can't quite get my head around something.  I've ben asked a question
regarding the behavior of NLM locks, and I'm not sure of what the right behavior
is. If there are NFS clients which have issued monitor requests for various NLM
locks to a server (rpc.statd), and the NFS server (rpc.nfsd) which serves the
files for which the client is monitoring locks on, is stopped and started (some
arbitrary time later), should notifications be sent to the monitoring
clients?  I've been reading the opengourp definition for NLM and NSM, and
section regarding the entrance of grace periods when the "server crashes" is
just unclear to me.

Thanks!
Neil
