hangs with FUSE 2.7.x when doing lots of renames

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using libfuse 2.7.2 or 2.7.4 (probably all 2.7.x releases), fusecompress
gets stuck badly when under rename() stress. Running

while true ; do mv -v x/* y ; mv -v y/* x ; done

hangs after only a few operations. The problem only occurs when mounting
the fusecompress FS on top of its backing directory (i.e. old syntax,
"fusecompress /foo"). Trying to kill fusecompress or the process doing the
rename() is not possible, attaching to those processes does not work either
(strace and gdb hang, too).

There is no such problem when using a differently named backing directory
(new syntax, e.g. "fusecompress /foo /bar") or when using libfuse 2.8.0pre1.

This is most likely a bug in libfuse.

Let's assume 2.7.x is a thing of the past...
