Thanks for the report! I have no idea whether this can be considered
a Perl bug, a problem in your architecture, or whatever. I leave this
to the author of Cwd, if only I could find one in the sources. I'll
use `perlbug' to submit it :(
In any case, this is a bad news for autoreconf, which I suppose, can
no longer use Cwd:chdir.
I'm installing the following patch:
Index: ChangeLog
from Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
(chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
Reported by Vance Shipley.
