>Description:
On a NFS directory access to an Unix domain socket by an Amiga using
AmiTCP/IP's NFS client the kernel panics with this message:

panic: ffs_read: type 6

A "trace" brings up this information:

...
_ffs_read+0x84
_ufs_readdir+0x97
_nfsrv_readdir+0x767
...

>How-To-Repeat:
Mount a directory containing an Unix domain socket with AmiTCP/IP's
"ch_nfs" client and use "List" on the socket.

>Fix:
Sorry, I don't know.
