I really think that there is something screwey with recent current. Compiling in options NO_F00F_HACK didn't help so its not that. Maybe its John Polstra's recent changes... I dont know. I think there may still be some vnode related deadlocks happening. Take that last paragraph with a grain of salt as I have no experience in diagnosing these things. Thats just the feeling I get with the timing of these problems.
