: This is probably your problem. Please make sure you have an up-to-date
: compat/svr4/svr4_misc.c, and possibly, if you're running on an NFS filesystem,

I had a fresh sup compiled kernel as of this morning, and just to be sure, I
checked to see what revision of file was on ftp.netbsd.org.  It matches:

/*      $NetBSD: svr4_misc.c,v 1.51 1997/10/19 00:16:08 fvdl Exp $       */

I'm using only ffs (/), mfs (/tmp), and union (/usr/src).  The bug happens
on all filesystems.  No NFS anywhere, and NFS isn't even compiled into my
kernel.  It also doesn't have much to do with "large directories" or listing
them the "first time"--this is always reproducable on any directory but /.
