ncplogin crashing with error failed:ncplogin: Inappropriate ioctl for device attempt to open mount point

After some system changes at my company I wasn't able to use ncpmount anymore and was forced to use ncplogin/ncpmap. I expected to be able to connect to the novell network servers, instead I got the error message failed:ncplogin: Inappropriate ioctl for device attempt to open mount point with the result that my home directory and all the files therein where not visible or accessible anymore.

After reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncpfs/+bug/629462
I went back to ncpfs 2.2.6-3 and everything worked.
