In attempt to "emulate" bad sectors I got another crash, that looks
similar (but not exactly same) to the original two crashes. I just
pulled out the diskette before file copy is finished. I know, that
must never be done, but sometimes people are in a great hurry or just
do mistakes. IMHO that isn't a good reason for a system crash.

The trace of that crash is attached to this email. This time g_vfs_done()
returned other error.

In other attemt to "emulate" bad sectors the kernel entered to an
endless loop of printing g_vfs_done() errors. I was able to switch
terminals (by Alt+F1, Alt+F2, ...) but unable to type anything or reboot
the system by Ctrl+Alt+Del.
