SEG hangs when the logfile, globus-fork.log, is on NFS. 

I traced this down to the "fork_starter.c" code. Specifically, the permission
of this file is set to 622.  The open/write c-code in "fork_starter.c" has a
do-while loop over "fcntl" function (see below).  If file is mounted on NFS, rc
returns as '-1' and errno as 11 (EAGAIN) because it cannot get a write-lock
over NFS. (Note, I am running rpc.rstatd on the system) This becomes an
infinite loop as all subsequent calls to fcntl return the same result.  If I
change the file permission to '666', then it proceeds normally. Or if I ignore
setting a write lock by changing the code (my simple test program) putting rc=0
into the EAGAIN case, it works fine. 

below is the loop.

    do
    {
        rc = fcntl(logfd, F_SETLKW, &lock);

        if (rc < 0)
        {
            switch (errno)
            {
                case EACCES:
                case EAGAIN:
                    rc = 1;
                    break;
                case EBADF:
                    globus_assert(errno != EBADF);
                    break;
                case EDEADLK:
                    globus_assert(errno != EDEADLK);
                    break;
                case EFAULT:
                    globus_assert(errno != EFAULT);
                    break;
                case EINTR:
                    rc = 1;
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
    while (rc == 1);
