Shouldn't this be in stable by now?  You sent it Feb 3, and there have been
two stable releases since then.

I've been waiting for Andy to get back from vacation. We've already sent
one buggy patch to stable...


It's still not in 3.3-rc either, at least put it there so others
can test it?

3.3-rc is _NOT_ a place to put patches for testing... You test the
patches _BEFORE_ you send them upstream.

Ok, but seems like it would be pretty lame to release 3.3 with this known
crash bug.

And, though I haven't done any thorough NFS testing, I could hit the
bug every time before I applied the patch..and since I applied it,
I have not had any problems.

So, it has been tested at least a bit.

Thanks,
Ben
