For the record, I tried this at home and found that the script had not
actually caused a crash or indefinite hang. It was just working verrryyy
slowwwlyyy.
I built a timer into the script and left it running (getting info for a
network volume via a router over a 10/100 ethernet wire) while I went off to
do something else. In this case, the result showed a delay of 1219 seconds
(a little over 20 minutes) between asking for and getting the info. This
compares poorly with the already sluggish 23-5 second delay I see when
getting info for a volume on an internal drive. All this on a G4 867/1.5GB
RAM.
Patience, Gnarlie. Everything comes to those who wait. :-)
