I dimly recall that one. Didn't it happen only in some very obscure circumstances that rarely happens in real life? Like rapidly mounting and unmounting the filesystem in a very specific use-scenario? What I do recall clearly is my conclusion at the time that the bug was just that - a bug. All software has bugs and not all bugs are equal; one has to learn to categorize them, and this one was relatively minor as far as filesystem bugs go. -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
