>Description:
This is a fix for a problem described in PR kern/19572. It was
recently discussed at -hackers. The problem is a null-pointer 
dereference that happens in kern/vfs_lookup.c when accessing ".." 
with a v_mount entry for the current directory vnode of NULL. This 
happens when a volume is forcibly unmounted, and the vnode for a 
working directory in the mounted volume is cleared.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd into a mountpoint, forcibly unmount the volume, and try to access "..":

mount /cdrom
cd /cdrom
umount -f /cdrom
ls ..

>Fix:
The following patch should fix the problem, as discussed on -hackers.
It is against 4.2-STABLE, but it applies (with minor offsets) to -CURRENT,
and there seems to not have changed anything that could make the patch
break. If this gets mangled, the patch is also at
