No, sorry.. daemon patches.

BTW, so far I've only seen one bug in the updated daemon with those patches,
with ghosting and direct maps.  If a mount gets hung, then HUPing the daemons,
even ones not related to the hung path (/net path hung and direct maps on
paths /prj and /iceng) doesn't seem to work.

e.g. had a host where some new paths under /prj added to map weren't taking 
effect.  Numerous hups to daemons didn't help.  Finally noticed an error about 
stating a filesystem in /net.  Was able to force umount that path, and next 
HUPs made new paths now accessible.   

Can recreate and strace daemon(s) sometime this week for more data.
