Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
A stale NFS file handle on a VirtualBox host shared with a Debian guest
under /usr/global results in `man` segfaulting at startup on the guest:
ycoene@debian:~$ strace man man
[...]

lstat64("/usr/share", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0
lstat64("/usr/share/man", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lstat64("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lstat64("/usr/global", 0xbfb37db0) = -1 EPROTO (Protocol error)
