This set of patches implements a test script for FUSE, and fixes some of the bugs that I found by doing that.

FUSE turns out to be very easy to deadlock (necessitating that the machine be rebooted). Running the test from the third patch is usually an effective way to demonstrate this. However I have not yet managed to produce a simple reproducer that
