I wonder how hard this problem would be to hit in normal use.  I mean, a
few hundred or a thousand clients doesn't sound that crazy.  This case
depends on an open deny, but you could hit the same problem with file
locks.  Would it be that weird to have a client trying to get a write
lock on a file read-locked by a bunch of other clients?
