Yes, this is what I was going to do, but didn't find time ;)

Thanks, everything looks "obviously fine" at first glance. except
ncpfs does something mysterious (and afaics wrong) with or without
the patch.

I'll try to read this carefully on weekend though. I do not expect I'll
find any problem, just may be a couple of nits about the changelogs.
Say, 41/41... doesn't hurt, but in fact the current code is fine as is.

Oleg.
