No, the only way it ever recovers is if you can make the shared 
volume available again (not always possible). Force quitting the 
Finder is almost impossible, due to the system being completely 
bogged down - a normal restart is also impossible. Somehow the Finder 
seems to deadlock all other apps too - I think the Finder is badly in 
need of a rewrite (and not in PowerPlant/Carbon this time).
