Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: easytag

Hi!

Im using easytag 2.1.2-1 under Gutsy/AMD64.
When I start easytag, it freezes as soon as I enter a certain "kind" of 
directory.

In detail:
I have all my mp3 files stored on a machine that exports its root-fs via NFS 
which I mount on my workstation.
On my workstation I have a symlink in my home directory that points to the mp3 
directory within the mount point of the "mp3-server" (i.e. mp3 -> 
/media/server/samba/mp3).
Now, from my home directory, I call "easytag mp3/NewAlbum" to tag the mp3 files 
within the "NewAlbum" directory.
Easytag freezes.

I called easytag with strace and found something strange:
easytag seems to traverse the whole file system starting at / and then doing a 
stat() on everything it finds.
In the strace-output I have a *whole* *lot* of lines like this:
stat("/bin/dd/", 0x7ffff4966090)        = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)

Easytag then freezes when it accesses the /dev filesystem on my mp3 server:
stat("/media/server/dev", 0x7ffff4966120) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
That's the last line before I killed easytag. It's reproducible.
