By chance we had several box running which approximately the same
configuration, and only one of them got the problem, so we did a diff between
the filesystems. A lot of non-vital configuration files are centralised on a
cachefs filesystem and there is some links pointing on them.
unfortunately on the broken box, /etc/services pointed to
/cachefsmount/etc/services instead of being local, so at boot time, lockd did
find what he expected.
As always this is a stupid error :)
