>Description:
The problem has shown up after a mistake giving the arguments to
"mount". The first parts of source and target were identical:
mount zelnfs/... zelnfs (Should be a nfs mount...)
This causes: "panic: locking against myself".
>How-To-Repeat:
mkdir xxx
mount xxx xxx
>Fix:
One more parameter check?
