Thanks for reporting the above problem! It seems to be a likely problem. Unfortunately we are now in holiday periods in Japan (Golden Week holidays). So, I can't test it. I'd like to look into the problem after the holidays, maybe on Wednesday or Thursday. Before that, could you tell me some information on your PC ? e.g. NILFS version, kernel version, memory amount, and so on.
