Hey, Poul! I'm not trying to show that gbde(4) is a buggy software,
I'm not trying to destroy you work, your image or FreeBSD, really.

I believe that this isn't bug in gbde(4), my fault, sorry.

But one thing I know, is that bug is somewhere and I just want to help
track it down.

This information could be useful:

When I've mounted file system on /private (not on /mnt/private) there
is no problem anymore. So maybe deadlock is caused by some directory
locking or something? Because if file system in mounted on /mnt/private
deadlock is 100% reproducable.
