Should I file a bug for this?

I tried looking at the network capture using `tcpdump -A -X` but wasn't
able to understand anything. I tried installing wireshark on a throwaway
cloud instance, but realised that it's a GUI program. Can you please help
be with the network trace at
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r8cn0qggrvmrpc3/dump.pcap?dl=0 ? It's capturing
the network chatter for ~1min of `ls -lR` on the shared folder. Does this
help in getting to the bottom of this problem?

Ah - I thought most mailing lists scrub attachments.
