I don't have time to get gnats running right now, let alone figure out how
to use it, but I want to report this bug before the release of 1.0 so I'm
going to submit this anyway.

There is a problem with the MSDOSFS filesystem on my NetBSD-i386 July 31
-current system.  Copying a file from a UFS filesystem to an MS-DOS 
filesystem mounted from an IDE drive causes NetBSD to hang with no warning
and no error message in /var/log/messages.  It also leaves the MS-DOS 
filesystem in an inconsistent state; after several unsuccesful attempts
at copying a file from NetBSD to MS-DOS, I ran CHKDSK under MS-DOS 6.22
and found several megabytes full of lost clusters (this was after I
started gettings bogus FAT entries).

Copying a file from an MS-DOS filesystem to a UFS fs appears to work fine.



To reproduce this error:

cp filename /dos/filename

where filename is a file located in a UFS filesystem and /dos is the
mount point for an MSDOSFS filesystem.
