No, this is a vanilla 2.6.0-test11. Upon review of my email, I can't
believe I didn't mention the kernel version. :)

Certainly. Compile and reboot. NFS comes up, after which SFS comes
up:

/opt/sfs/bin/sfscd

Then, I log in as krose and

cd music

where music is a symlink to
sfs/kushana.valley-of-wind.krose.org/music, the first two parts of
which are a symlink to
/sfs/@kushana.valley-of-wind.krose.org,jc72upywax7dsvd7rwpbvrfwpq4j2w7e.
So, in effect, I end up in
/sfs/@kushana.valley-of-wind.krose.org,jc72upywax7dsvd7rwpbvrfwpq4j2w7e/music.

Then I type ls, and get a segfault and an oops in dmesg. (Sometimes,
it succeeds the first time, but always segfaults when I perform the
same steps a few minutes later.) After this, NFS and/or SFS appear to
be wedged in a bad state, because future requests to SFS don't work.
Stopping SFS is a no-go, either.

I'm not really sure what kind of detail you're looking for, so please
feel free to be more specific if you want/need more information.

Cheers,
