Do you mean unmounting it from *all* clients, or just one? I can confirm
that it doesn't go back down if I unmount it from just one client, at
least (I just tried). It is, by the way, up to 334 right now.

I haven't tried unmounting it from all clients with the 2.6.18 kernel,
and doing that would be quite troublesome. However, I did try it once
with the 2.6.16 kernel, and it did not bring the refcount down (at that
time, it was up to over 500).
