Comment 14 for bug 137514

Probably the same bug, using ubuntu 9.04, and had the same problem is earlier versions
I have an application that appends a large number of lines to a text file, one at a time, and it always causes sshfs to crash

the only workaround I have found is to launch sshfs with sshfs -d for debug output, then it runs without crashing, but the file transfer is VERY slow

if launched with sshfs -d remote mount_point > /dev/null 2>&1 to send the debug info to /dev/null file access is much faster (though still slower than without the -d switch) and I have never seen a crash running it this way.

I don't know if this helps anyone, nut is certainly the most ridiculous bug.
