I would be surprised if this is not a day one bug, it probably even affects the IRIX version of XFS. Our problem is the lack of a test case to find it - my efforts have come to naught so far. I'm having to cross my fingers that Jesper can extract a bit more information when he's next able to hit it.

That, and another story - Jesper hijacked that thread ;) - the inital bug there was found and fixed, and the fix has now been merged. But (fyi, Kasper) much of that thread is discussing a different bug to this one.
