My method is this:

- enable CONFIG_FUSE_FS
- compile fuse from CVS:
 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@...e.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fuse co -P fuse
 cd fuse
 ./makeconf.sh
 ./configure
 make
 make -C test

- in one shell:
 mkdir /tmp/fuse
 example/fusexmp_fh -d /tmp/fuse

- in another shell:
 mkdir /tmp/test
 test/test /tmp/fuse/tmp/test

The result is normally a completed run with "1 tests failed".  On
2.6.23-mm1, it just hangs after the first test.

I've only tried under UML, but since Rick is seeing it on real HW, I
guess this method may work there as well.
