NFS client locks sometimes not removed from server (reproducable)

Client and server are the same. Kernels tried: 2.6.19, 2.6.20 and 2.6.20.1 + http://client.linux-nfs.org/Linux-2.6.x/2.6.20/linux-2.6.20-NFS_ALL.dif

kernel compiled with gcc version 3.4.6 (Debian 3.4.6-4)

/proc/mounts says:

server:/mnt /net/server/mnt nfs rw,nosuid,nodev,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,proto=udp,timeo=11,retrans=2,sec=sys,addr=server 0 0

cd /net/server/mnt
mkdir t
cd t
(save lck.c and locktest attachments here)
gcc -o lck lck.c
./locktest

When the script terminates:
- ls -li lck-filename
(remember the inode #)
- ps wwwuax|grep lck
(there should not be any running)
- cat /proc/locks
(inode appears not locked)
- ssh server cat /proc/locks
(inode appears locked!)

Trying the same against a tru64 server shows similar symptoms (the file can no longer be locked. tru64 has no /proc/locks of course).

A possibly related issue: when the client is shut down it says

lockd_down: lockd failed to exit, clearing pid

when the client reboots (rpc.statd?) the server seems to remove the corresponding locks which is a smart thing to do.
