it's supposed to work, but i too managed to crash it very easily.

the reason of the crash was that the req->in_file handling of TUX was
buggy. I think i managed to fix all the places (there are two new
functions: install_req_dentry() and release_req_dentry() that should make
it harder to do this mistake every again). I've uploaded -Q8 which has
these fixes:

could you please check out whether this fixes NFS-docroot serving for you
too?
