I'm seeing this as well on an RHEL4 respin, kernel 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL:

1.3.82-client ~ % echo a > a
1.3.82-client ~ % cat a
a
1.2.13-client ~ % cat a
a
1.2.13-client ~ % rm a
1.2.13-client ~ % cat a
cat: a: No such file or directory
1.3.82-client ~ % cat a
a
1.3.82-client ~ % vi a
[shows old content, but save fails with "cannot open file for writing"]
[quit without saving]
1.3.82-client ~ % cat a
a
1.2.13-client ~ % cat a
cat: a: No such file or directory
1.3.82-client ~ % echo b >|a
1.3.82-client ~ % cat a
b
1.2.13-client ~ % cat a
b

Fileserver is 1.2.13/Linux/x86, DB servers are 1.2.13/Solaris.

1.3.82 does fix the problem that the first write on an x86 non-SMP client
hangs I've been observing with 1.3.79-81, though.
