Hmm.. This seems to be a bad bug with supermount and some of the ide devices. I
have this happen at school where I put supermount on machines with IDE zip
drives. When I try changing into the directory it just blows up.... It
basically prints out a bunch of registers and clears the screan and generally
crashes the system. It works fine with the scsi zip drive at home however.
Maybe this bug should be reported to whoever maintains the supermount kernel
patches.
