The common timer implementation had a bug whereas it overwrote the list
of timers when a timer callback added its own timer -- which just about
every one of them does. The most visible result was that sessions stopped
expiring correctly and left dangling file locks. Also, every new session
failed after 2 minutes 35 seconds.

The fix is not to keep a local copy of the list head across invocations
of the callback.

Jeff & Colin: sorry to waste your time with inferences that the change
to XDR was somehow involved. I guess I did not update the CLD on the
server since before the common timer.
