I'd rather go with the theory you (indirectly) raised a few days ago that my 
RAM may misbehave (when you suggested I run memtest). This is rather possible 
because I had difficulties understanding my BIOS and at some point I have 
accidentally enabled some overclocking. As I know this may cause the RAM to 
misbehave (and I don't have ECC RAM), this may as well be the reason.

Sadly it didn't (see other e-mail) but I think I'll go for the latter (mkfs and 
restore from backups) as I *think* my backups are fine and I don't want to 
waste more of your time (unless Josef wants to get his changes tested).

Thanks very much so far for the support and thanks for maintaining BTRFS :-)

Kind regards,
Chris
