Sorry it took me so long to reply. The patch still applies in today's
-current. It even seems to fix the problem that was being discussed.
The same code that I was running before now works without an hitch.
There is still another issue, though.
I have some ext2 drives mounted and I can cd and ls and use things
like konqueror with them, however things like the following are
happening:
# mkdir foo
# mkdir foo/bar
# rm -rf foo
rm: foo: No such file or directory
# cd foo/
# ls
bar
# find .
.
find: ./bar: No such file or directory
find: .: No such file or directory
#
Those are definitely broken behaviour. I hope someone has an answer.
Now that I'm all settled in .jp I should be able to test patches or
provide information in reasonable amounts of time. Thank you very
much, Peter, for your patch!
