The SL_firefox_parentlock_fix fix doesn't fix the problem we're
discussing.  It's for a different problem with firefox and AFS.

Aki: it's clear lots of much larger sites have not been abot to fix
this problem so we won't be able to either.  How about you just "klog"
every morning when you come in, and we distribute a "unlock-firefox"
shell script??
