Randy had gnomevfs2 built with FAM support, but was not running FAM. Because he had this non-standard kernel option, gnomevfs2 file methods were not simple returning when they couldn't reach the FAM server. Instead, they hung...for hours. Moral of the story: if you build gnomevfs2 with FAM support, make sure you're running famd. If you want to add TCP_DROP_SYNFIN to your kernel, be sure you're aware that it may break certain TCP/IP applications.
