VFS bug

[Michal Belczyk <diavul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

this is what I got today, the system is:

envy# uname -a
DragonFly envy.bsd.krakow.pl 1.1-Stable DragonFly 1.1-Stable #0: Fri Nov 26

However:
envy# cd /cvs 
envy# ls -l

envy# touch bla

^C

works perfectly. All you need to trigger this bug is an empty direcory.
