I think you've read code correctly.

i see. yep. this could be exactly the reason why Arne is seeing
corruption. I did your patch code review. Looks OK to me, at least
I do not see any obvious problems. Patch should indeed fix this sort
of corruption, though we need more millage before declare a victory.

Patch applied. r374.

people, please try r374 and see if it breaks/improves things on your
setups.

Thanks Arne for a very nice break down of the problem.
Thanks Tomof!
