I'm getting a memory allocation error that I've seen mentioned
elsewhere around on the net.  There's even a bug report that looks
more or less active.  The only solution anyone has claimed worked for
them was to update the client chroot.  But, I tried that, and it
doesn't work.  My clients are 64-bit, as is the server.  I've also
seen the advice to not use 64-bit clients, but that's not really
practical for us.

I just wonder if there's any new information or any new
troubleshooting to try.  If not, can I help the bug troubleshooting in
some way?

Synopsis:

Server:  64-bit Oneiric (11.10) 3.0.0-15-generic
Client:  64-bit amd64 (boots 3.0.0-14-generic)

Insert USB Stick.  The stick shows up in
/media/username/usb-blah-blah.  It is possible to list all the files,
recursively, all the way down.  It is also possible to get
realistic-looking file sizes with "ls -l".  But, try to head a file or
copy it, and you get:

$ head /media/lachele/usbdisk-sdb1/e12_adv_survey_20110115.html
head: error reading
`/media/lachele/usbdisk-sdb1/e12_adv_survey_20110115.html': Cannot
allocate memory

One interesting thing I've noticed....

If I list the whole usb stick contents, I get this ownership:

$ ls -l /media/lachele/usbdisk-sdb1/
[snip]
-rwx------  1 lachele users   696678 2011-01-15 19:14
e12_adv_survey_20110115.html
[snip]

...but if I try to list that individual file, the ownership looks different:

$ ls -l /media/lachele/usbdisk-sdb1/e12_adv_survey_20110115.html
-rwx------ 1 root root 696678 2011-01-15 19:14
/media/lachele/usbdisk-sdb1/e12_adv_survey_20110115.html

Could that be part of the issue somehow?  I am a member of plugdev and
fuse, which are the two groups I think might be relevant.
