squatter processes locked

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hello

We have noticed that squatter sometimes hangs.  It's waiting for a lock

root at cyrprd6:/etc/cyrus-ugent/conf# strace -p 13858
Process 13858 attached - interrupt to quit
fcntl(13, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}


squatter 13858 cyrus   12uR  REG               0,17        0

Are people doing any housekeeping on the squatter processes?  What  
kind?  Kill?

Or is it a bug?

Thanks
