>Description:
If we create a pool with ZFS, mount it using nullfs in another path and export it using NFS, when the user mount the NFS in another machine and try to perform a ls -a inside /mnt/.zfs we have the crash.

More information about it could be found at: http://people.freebsd.org/~araujo/dump_nfs/
>How-To-Repeat:
root# zpool create tank raidz /dev/ada1 /dev/ada2
root# mount nullfs /tank /mnt
root# echo "/mnt -alldirs" >>/etc/exports
root# /etc/rc.d/mountd restart

1) Mount the NFS share in another machine.
2) cd /mnt/.zfs/
3) ls -la
>Fix:
On FreeBSD-HEAD the problem doesn’t happens anymore, but investigate it, the patch attached that was obtained from HEAD, solved this issue.
