Description

When executing the following simple script, the in-kernel client fails with error "Text file busy", while the out-of-kernel 2.4.2 client compiled against 2.6.32 vanilla works.

-----------
#!/bin/bash

rm -f ./test.sh
touch ./test.sh && chmod a+x ./test.sh
echo "echo foo" > ./test.sh
./test.sh
echo "echo foo" > ./test.sh
------------

The following script works in all cases:

-----------
#!/bin/bash

rm -f ./test.sh
touch ./test.sh && chmod a+x ./test.sh
echo "echo foo" > ./test.sh
bash ./test.sh
echo "echo foo" > ./test.sh
------------
