SubjectRe: BUG: isofs broken (2.2 and 2.4)

better you'd have tested it;) while Andries' patch works fine (2 CDs of
data copied and checked a bit, seems to work ok with no obvious problems)
your new patch still shows a number of problems:

I've got a SIGSEGV in "find" and ...

Ah yes, but Nov 17 and 2.4.0test10 is ancient history.
You do not mention a kernel version, but if it is older
than 2.4.0test12, upgrade.

(Before 2.4.0test11: a few complaints. On 2.4.0test11: a deluge
of complaints. On later kernels: one or two complaints. Must still
look at the case where someone has problems with isofs over nfs -
maybe this is nfs-related, not isofs-related.)

(The story here was interesting: Linus' patch did part of the
work required, good enough for most people. Nevertheless there were
many complaints, and it turned out that gcc 2.95.2 mistranslated
the code. Removing a superfluous line made things work again,
leaving us worried how many other problems in kernel and user
software are caused by this compiler bug. Then I added the part of
my patch that Linus hadnt done yet, so now all should be well again.)
