System: NetBSD amiga2.oscs.montana.edu 1.1_ALPHA NetBSD 1.1_ALPHA (ZEUS) #951027-0: Fri Oct 27 21:08:32 MDT 1995 root@amiga2.oscs.montana.edu:/opt/tmp/src/sys/arch/amiga/compile/ZEUS amiga


>Description:
	The export fields in the adosfs mount structure are not getting
	initialized, and can cause system crashes when an ados filesystem
	is mounted.  Mountd will do a "delete export" on each mounted
	filesystem.  Depending upon what kind of garbage was present in
	the adosfs mount structure, vfs_export() may try to do things
	it shouldn't, and can result in a system crash.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Mount an ados filesystem while mountd is running.
>Fix:
	Apply the following patch to clear the adosfs mount structure:
