Here's a replacement for df that shouldn't hang if the remote file server
is down (I have seen it hang when the remote machine was in some bizarre
semi-down state).  It's almost completely df compatible - the only
difference I know is that when a file system is more than 100% full it
prints out a negative number of available k rather than zero.
