gnomevfs problems

[Andrew Thompson]

Hi,


Ever since I did a large ports upgrade last week some of my apps have
started hanging (thunderbird, firefox, eclipse, ...).

I have narrowed this down to performing any action that will access the
filesystem, the app will hang but if I wait long enough (hours) then it
will come right. fstat shows that /usr/X11R6/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so
is not opened before the hang but afterwards it will be opened multiple
times, >50 for eclipse.

Can anyone suggest a fix, its driving me crazy.


thanks,
Andrew
