Description

I believe that what I did is the following:
1. `cd /keybase/public`
2. `touch asdf foo`
3. `cd /keybase/public/sethwolfwood,someoneelse`

This command will hang until I `C-c` it. If I try to open a folder from the keybase GUI, the gui closes and nothing happens.

`ls` also throws an error: `ls: cannot access sethwolfwood: Input/output error`

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sequence in /keybase/public: touch asdf foo, enter the shared folder, and compare the hang, ls I/O error, and GUI failure. Use log id ec625516f19f952b2456ae1c to inspect the reported behavior; done means the reproduction no longer hangs or produces the reported errors.
