SubjectRe: BUG in fat / msdos / vfat filesystem
Hi!

Sorry for the late reply. This patch helps noting (apart from the
oops going away). The new symptoms are: writes succeed (reading
the data with 2.1.65 works), but reading the written data
gives some random data out of the MO... (looks like contents of
other files/blocks).
