Somehow, autovac is doing something that makes the filesystem go nuts

up here?
Also, I was able to reproduce the variability in timing on HPUX and
Darwin as well as Linux, so we can't put all the blame on ext3.
(I didn't drill down to the strace level on the other two machines,
though, so it's possible that there is a different mechanism at work
there.)
Any news since this message ? Should I file a bug report ?
