Actually it is a well understood problem.  I just didn't realize that
the unix cm had it.

When a whole file lock is write-held, all of the dirty data in the cache
must be written back to the file server before the lock is released.
This is currently not being done and as a result, the database becomes
corrupted.

I suspect this will be fixed shortly.
