nfs bug

Heres an interesting loop I found when working on an nfs config.
While configuring an nfs export.
in /etc/exports I meant to type /
192.168.2.2(rw,anonuid=511,anongid=510)
but instead I typed / 192.168.2.2(rw,anonuid=511,anongid510)
notice the lack of an equal sign ^^^^

I'm not resposable for anything I do within 2 hours of waking up.

After making that mistake I noticed mh hd light was a nice red color, one
quick check showed that it was syslogd writing several thousand of these:

Aug 25 18:00:22 gmack mountd[170]: Unknown keyword "" in export file
Aug 25 18:00:22 gmack mountd[170]: Comma expected in opt list for clnt
192.168.2.2 (found '5')

I know I messed up on that line but I don't think it should loop like that
inspite of user not totally awake error. Can anyone else reproduce this?
