Bug in diff -r

[Tim Seher]

Hi!

I have a small problem with running diff using diffutils 2.8.4 on a Suse Linux 
9.1 Laptop to compare a local FAT32 partition mounted as /da/ with a FAT32 
directory da on an external harddrive. I pasted the command I use below.

diff -r /da/ /media/usb-storage-DEF107679C83\:0\:0\:0p6/da/

The command works perfectly without the -r option, but the whole system stalls 
if I run the command above. The only thing I can do is to push the reset 
button and reboot the whole system.

Thanks, Tim!
