We learned some more about this bug. It relates to issue #1366. There are three ingredients for this problem: `gfal-copy` trying to write files, the `root:` protocol, and HDFS as the file system. The sequence of events is as follows.
1. A request is made by `gfal-copy` to write a file using the `root:` protocol.
2. At the data node, this request fails due to #1366. The file name is added to the `posc.log`.
3. The sysadmin re-starts `xrootd` on the data node (for maintenance or other reasons).
4. During start-up, `xrootd` goes through the `posc.log` to clean up the files. It tries to delete the files from step 2, but once again it fails because of bug #1366.
5. Because `xrootd` can't clean up the files in the `posc.log`, it enters a non-responsive state and does nothing.
