sshfs mountpoints disappear at transfering/enumerating large amounts of files

Bug Description

In order to synchronize the home directories of a new laptop with the old one(s), I connected them by wire and mounted the (old) homedirs via sshfs.

Copying of small directories work out, but the .kde directory does not get copied. The mountpoint disappears while Konqueror is enumerating the files in the directory.

First I blamed the UTP cables or the switch. After swapping those out, I used SFTP/fish. It turns out that via sshfs I could only list about 5000 files out of 10000+ that where actually there.

I described my problem in the forums:

I had same bug.

It is fixed in sshfs 1.9 .
When I was testing with sshfs 1.9, copying dir with 15.000 files in subdirs, and find . it, it was fine for hours.
As soon as I switched back to stock sshfs 1.7, after 3 minutes the copy failed, and I got:

rafal@desktop:~/mnt/ice$ ls
ls: .: Transport endpoint is not connected

rafal@desktop:~/mnt/ice$ dmesg | tail

[61366.198884] sshfs[26006]: segfault at 000000000000791b rip 00002b18121cf6ab rsp 0000000044807cd0 error 4
