I strongly suspect it's a bug in btrfs... So let's track down which
syscalls are affected... Find some small package (hilite is a good one)
and try merging it. When it's merging the file, you'll get something
like:

>>> /usr/bin/hilite

What're the three symbols in the first column when this happens?
