[bug #29809] creating a firmlink loop results in memory exhaustion

[Justus Winter]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #29809 (project hurd):

As suggested by antrik in #hurd here is a log of the port usage of both
ext2fs and firmlink (both eat up more and more memory) measured once every
second using portinfo $PID | wc --lines:

root@hurdbox:~# ps ax | egrep '(ext2fs|firmlink)'
root         3  - Ro    0:05.51 ext2fs --readonly
--multiboot-command-line=root
root       345  - R     0:00.47 /hurd/firmlink foo
root       348 p0 S     0:00.01 egrep (ext2fs|firmlink)
root@hurdbox:~# ./port_count 3 345
  0: 23276 22956 
  1: 27901 27541 
  2: 32182 31846 
  3: 36311 36066 
  4: 40491 40276 
  5: 44646 44376 
  6: 48641 48461 
  7: 52716 52501
