Given the lack of response it seems like the answer is no.  But maybe no one
has tried to do what you are doing.  Have you tried tracing the app in the
debugger?  Perhaps building and running the filesystem regression tests on
this machine -- just to be sure there isn't odd configuration issue with your
platorm?  Just throwing out some ideas...
