Public bug reported:

https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/commit/c352ec27d5c5ecea8f6af066258dfd106085eaac

"In certain circumstances, "zfs send -i" (incremental send) can produce
a stream which will result in incorrect sparse file contents on the
target.

The problem manifests as regions of the received file that should be
sparse (and read a zero-filled) actually contain data from a file that
was deleted (and which happened to share this file's object ID)."

This bug causes data corruption, and has privacy/security implications.
I think we need to get this fix into Xenial ASAP.
