We ran extensive tests to ensure that the code is stable. While it's possible we missed stuff, it might help if someone checked what is different about my "wrapfs" vs. Nullfs. We may have fixed bugs in wrapfs not realizing that they originally came from the base Nullfs we started with. Cheers, Erez.
