Description of problem:

- With both 2 and 3 node clusters (and suspect this is true for any number of 
nodes in a cluster)when a member is manually fenced off clustat hangs on the 
nodes still in quorum.
- All gfs related operations also hang - which we would expect, but we still 
anticipate that clustat needs to still function and give accurate status.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel - 2.6.9-11.EL_smp
gfs - 6.1
cluster suite - 4

How reproducible:

Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configuration a 2 or 3 node cluster (believe it will be the same on any 
number though) for manual fencing
2. pull the heartbeat or do something to stop the heartbeat communication to a 
member.
3. verify the member was fenced off
  
4. go to another that should still have quorum and try executing clustat

Actual results:

clustat hangs

Expected results:

- clustat should not hang and show the fenced off node no longer in the 
cluster.

Additional info:

please let me know if any additional info is required to reproduce. this is a 
high priority item for us. 

thanks in advance.
