I found it -

	I turned on /etc/lockd for some testing (to see if it would
work in client mode over nfs) and forgot to turn it off. That turned
out to be the problem. I sure hope when ISC finally gets the lockd 
to run, the 'cu' problem will not pop up again with the 'correct' version
of /etc/lockd.

	thanks to all who replied to me on this problem . . .
