Description of problem:
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.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Always

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

Actual Results:  The system hangs up

Expected Results:  The opposite

Additional info:

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
