[Flickrfs-users] threading problem identified

[<rdm...@bi...>]

OK, so the problem is in fuse-python.  What I don't know is whether
this is a general fuse-python problem, or is platform specific.  I have
a slightly modified version of the fuse-python xmp.py program that
demonstrates the problem.  I've checked it in to the 'test' directory as
'xmp.py'.  Anyone who can please check this out and run it:

python xmp.py -o root=/tmp <mountpoint>

(this will act as if /tmp is mounted at mountpoint)

If it prints more than five 'ticking' messages then fuse-python works
fine on your system.  If it only prints four or five, and the file
'testfile' that it generates only contains four or five ticks, then
your platform also has the problem, and this would be why your sets
directory never gets populated.  Please report to me your results and
OS/python/fuse/fuse-python version.

I will also be sending this bug report to the python-fuse developer.
