Hammer: processes blocked on a file

This is on a DragonFly 2.0 machine with a freshly newfs'd /home hammer
filesystem.
So far, I have been able to reproduce this bug twice.

korganizer, the kde agenda tool is unable to close properly since I
upgraded to DragonFly-2.0. The process seems to stay in some kind of
zombie state.
When trying to reboot the system, the following messages are shown on the
console:


init: some processes would not die; ps axl advised

. ..

syncing disks... 1
done
umount of filesystem mounted from subaru4:/distfiles failed(70)
[diagnostic] cache_lock: blocked on 0xe16da678 "korganizerrcbvUSpw.new"


The machine then stays in this state forever; I have to use the reset switch.
