and another one - i have here a machine (dual p6 333, 128m, ide)
with an rootfs on ext2 and the same on xfs plus my homedir nfs
mounted from a fileserver - then i run the xfs root fs and will
start netscape i get a core dump with the following backtrace

  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x4024dc55 in __getdents (fd=16, buf=0x90ea030 "", nbytes=65536)
      at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getdents.c:84
  #1  0x4024d82c in __readdir (dirp=0x90ea000) at ../sysdeps/unix/readdir.c:57
  ...

if i do it with the ext2 root fs (and the _same_ kernel) it
works fine ... maybe the xfs and the nfs code are walking on
eachother foot anywhere here?

some more side infos: nfs server is 2.2.17pre17 with dhiggens/trond
patches, the ext2 system is ext2 only and the xfs one xfs only,
also it is not the netscape bin - running the bin from the
ext2 fs on the xfs root system crashes too, ah - and the
xfs code is fresh from now but the problem is here for
at least some weeks (as long as i know) and is
absolutely reproducable ...

any ideas?
