When we installed OSx5.0 we got this message by the hundreds.

fhtovp  ->  file handle to virtual pointer failure.

Apparently it is a debug message left in the NFS code, we got rid of
it when we installed a new PTF for NFS.

It was weeks before anyonbe in our Pyramid Support chain, NZ,
Australia, US managed to tell us what it meant let alone what to do
about it.

As we did not change anything, I'd really like to know what the
message means and whether we ought to worry about it, even though it
has gone away.
