Hi Murali

I'm seeing this on chiba with posix ior and the flash io benchmark
(oddly enough, just with the parallel netcdf version, not the hdf5
one).

I agree it's something related to chiba, but have no idea what it
could be.  I tried a different version of berkely db and saw the same
results. 

pvfs2-ping works, but pvfs2-ls hangs in getattr.  servers don't
*appear* to be stuck in anything, but I only hooked up a debugger to
the server-that-wouldn't-die.  

I can reliably get one run of 'flash_io_benchmark' in, no matter how
many processes, but after that, nothing.  I have to not only restart
the servers, but start over from scratch with a new file system for a
second run to complete.  nope, pvfs2-fsck doesn't show any problems
with the file system after I restart the servers.

wierd one.
