Bug#554836: segfault in audacity when saving files

[Tim Hanson]

Hi David,

You seem to be correct - a program that I am developing under ocaml
also fails when opening a GTK filechooser dialog.  I'm glad you
noticed this, as I was naturally thinking that my program was
incorrect. The ocaml program fails with a very similar stack trace.

I changed the mount options for a NFS server
from
crackle:/crackle /mnt/crackle	nfs4    _netdev,auto	0	0
to
crackle:/crackle        /mnt/crackle    nfs4    rw,hard,intr,user    0       0

and this seems to have fixed the problem.  Audacity now works
properly, as do other gtk programs.

I do not understand why, though.  Anyway, your pointer was very much
appreciated!

Tim
