Looking once more at that commit, I find at least one bug, but I'm
pretty sure that's not the cause of this problem.

DavidH, watch out for things like this:

- for (idx = 0; idx < pipe->nrbufs && rem < len; idx++)
+ for (idx = tail; idx < head && rem < len; idx++)

which is a completely buggy conversion.

You can't compare tail and head with an inequality, it gets the
wraparound case wrong.

But I found only one of those, and it's fuse-specific, plus the
overflow would take a long time to trigger, so I'm pretty sure this
isn't what DavidS is reporting.

Linus
