>Description:
File system on remote host is mounted via nfs, I am using mc (Midnight
Commander) to work from remote file system. When I use "mv" files from
remote fs to my fs or "rm -r" on remote fs, my local host occasionaly
stops.
This problem appears after 2.2-ALPHA & repeats in 2.2.1-RELEASE,
3.0-SNAP.


>How-To-Repeat:
Mount remote file system where you have 5-10 level directory tree
via NFS.
Run MidNight Commander.
Choose remote fs on one panel.
1 variant) Try to delete recurcevly files on remote fs (F8).
2 variant) Move remote dir-tree to local host (F6).
On recursive deleting local host halts without any messages from kernel.

 Please re-try with the latest version of 2.2-stable.  I have just
 committed a batch of NFS fixes to the 2.2 branch, one of which might be
 yours.

 When deleting a lot of files or a large file with mc from a nfs-mounted
 system. The client will crash. 
 
 On very (VERY) rare occasions the crash also occurs when using mv and rm,
 outside the mc program (usually when removing extremely large files
 and/or directories). 
 
 Since normal users can perform these actions...
 
 The nfs-server is also a FreeBSD server.
