Great!  Here is were I am, I know tmpfs hangs in port_lock () which is in 
tmpfs/node.c.  The thread that triggers port_lock () never gets woken up by a 
later thread.  Maybe a race condition.  What are your thoughts?  What do you 
think about the memcpy bug discussed here:

I know you grok libc, so you might be able to pin-point the bug.

Happy Hacking

p.s.  I have'nt really hacked tmpfs, but rather just debugging.
