This locking bug has absolutely nothing to do with building Gnome-VFS into Firefox (through I normally don't build it anyway, as it is unnecessary.) It's a bug in CUPS, when built with GnuTLS as the SSL/TLS engine, that is trigged with the interaction between Firefox and CUPS. The best solution is to recompile CUPS 1.4.4 with the fix_locking patch, using the BLFS instructions.
