While adding better signal handling would fix this particular problem, you'd still lose when, say, a file manager tried to open up /afs, since you can't easily and safely interrupt it with ^C. I've been meaning to implement fakestat -- i.e., create fake information for volume roots without actually talking to the vldb or fileservers. This would fix the problem for both command-line and graphical tools, on all platforms.
