Bug 171082

Description of problem:

This is the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168280

I posted it here because I think it might be a problem in util-linux-2.12a-
16.EL4.12 and not in samba (which 168280 is posted under).

Breifly - this causes a 30+ second delay:-

mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx 

However - if, instead of waiting 30 seconds, you hit Ctrl-Z and type "bg", it 
successfully completes immediately (wihtout having to wait 30 seconds).

Looks like the bug is related to some kind of waiting around for a signal that 
never arrives, and the Ctrl-Z+"bg" "hack" delivers whatever it's waiting for...

# rpm -q --whatprovides mount
util-linux-2.12a-16.EL4.12


# mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx 
Password: 

[1]+  Stopped                 mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o

# bg
[1]+ mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx &

[1]+  Done                    mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o 
username=xxx

bugzilla mode does not work right now (javascript "invalid syntax" error after 
collecting all my data)
