After I recompiled kernels (2.4.7 and 2.4.9 from redhat updates) to access
NTFS partitions, Nautilus hangs up the system when try to browse these
partitions.

1. Recompile kernel turning on the NTFS Filesystem as a module
2. Mount an NTFS partition
3. Try to browse this mountpoint with Nautilus

Recompiling kernels 2.4.13-0.3 from rawhide this problem disappear.

NTFS isn't supported because it doesn't work - that's why it isn't compiled by
default.

In any case, it's a kernel bug, userspace apps shouldn't be able to hang the system.

assuming kernel guys won't fix this
