CIFS kernel bug freeze-ups.

I found:-
This is a known problem that is fixed in 2.6.23-rc4.  cifs_readdir()
takes a spinlock and calls a blocking function.  The fix is here:
http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=a403a0a370946e7dbcda6464a3509089daee54bc

As shown in the logs, my kernels are 2.6.25.14-69.fc8 and 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686
so it looks like this "should" have been fixed.
I've put it in bugzilla.
