Just to verify - can you confirm that this "just fixes it" for you?

David: The exact command this time was a "tar jxf linux-2.6.23.tar.bz2" as
part of an emerge (gentoo). Gnu tar version 1.18 but has happened with
prior versions too. I replicated it after my post by manually untarring it
on the command line and can almost always replicate the problem with

As Herbert Xu pointed out, bytes (chars) with bit 7 (0x80) set are
true with isprint() but they may not be isascii() but be Unicode
instead, so don't try to print them in hex dumps.

this patch is against cryptodev-2.6, and have passed scripts/checkpatch.pl
KERN_DEBUG is stripped out, this acts more like the original in tcrypto.c
and the last parameter "bool ascii" set to zero to disable ascii output,
this could keep it happy on Unicode terminals.

Hugh,
I just posted a series of patches to unionfs (already in unionfs.git on
korg), which fix every problem LTP found, as well as other problems
mentioned
Without this patch, the LTP fs test "rwtest04" triggers a
BUG_ON(PageWriteback(page)) in fs/buffer.c:1706.
