The current state of it (tested against sshfs on 8-stable amd64) is:

	- survives blogbench runs
	- survives fsx runs with arguments "-W -R -L", i.e. no mmaped 
operations, no file size / truncate operations

... without crashing. I cannot verify kernel memory corruption but I'm 
running a heavy X desktop here and it survives.

Noted.
