I'm using arla from source for now, but no dice.

I compiled nnpfs from 0.36.1 and directly insmodded it, and then just did 
'make install' in the arla 0.36.1 directory, and then ran 
nnpfs/linux/bin/startarla , which seems to run fine.

I do have a loopback filesystem mount in /var/cache/arla; its type is 
ext3, since my main filesystem is xfs and I hear that arla is incompatible 
with using SGI XFS as the cache filesystem.

When I run arlad -n (for no detach mode), it segfaults.  Is that normal?
