Well, it still hung, but the test itself revealed an interesting clue
to the problem.

In the previous trials, the last two file systems were left unchanged
(snapshots were unrenamed) after rebooting.  In the sort -r trial,
only the last one was changed.  This means that the penultimate entry
in the list is 'magical' somehow.

It's not shared via NFS, nor used for Zones, nor does it have
compression enabled.  The only thing special about that one file
system is that it has over 100K tiny files on it.

I'll do some more digging as time (and other users) permit.
