It obviously didn't make it into 2.6.37. All I can say is that the bug
is 100% reproducible here by the procedure I outlined. And reading large
directories on ncpfs is as solid as it was in 2.6.36 if only this
dcache.c change is reverted. So I'm of course glad Nick's patch made it
into the tree now and would vote for its inclusion in 2.6.37-1.
I posted this because I didn't find a similar bug report. Or did I
overlook it?

Thanks and best regards,
Bernd
