Sounds like a great feature!  I could've used this about a week ago, but
I'll be sure to put it to heavy use in coming weeks (my daytime job is
as a NFS driver developer for Win32).

Another small feature I wanted to implement was to hash the filehandle
into a 32-bit value for ease of "processing" just like Solaris' snoop
does.  This also makes it easier for tracing the use of filehandles,
instead of having to compare long filehandles, a 32-bit value can be
used.  I will get to this soon.

Mike.
