Thanks for the very detailed report! It is in fact very similar to hangs
which have been reported previously. The nfsTrace log may be helpful if you
created it in debug mode of the daemon (with option '-d' to sharityd, not
through syslog) and if it has already been active while the error occured
the first time. If both is true, please compress the log and mail it to me
in private e-mail.

However, what would be even more interesting, is a debugger session on
sharityd while a mount hangs. If you can reproduce the hang with reasonable
effort and if you have a debugger, I can mail you instructions how to
collect the relevant information.

Regards, Christian.
