Description Hans de Bruin 2010-11-03 14:13:02 UTC 
After startup Firefox reports:

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

Comment 2 Trond Myklebust 2010-11-03 14:36:18 UTC 
Yes. This is a known problem. A fix has already been posted to the mailing
lists, and is currently queued up in my 'bugfixes' branch on git.linux-nfs.org.

NLM: Fix a regression in lockd

Apparently, removing the 'transport->srcaddr.ss_family = family' from
xs_create_sock() triggers this due to nlmclnt_lookup_host() incorrectly
initialising the srcaddr family to AF_UNSPEC.
Comment 4 Hans de Bruin 2010-11-03 20:11:28 UTC 
Ok, the patch works for me too. I will close the bug when the fix appears in mainline.
