I just committed a change to the extended attribute backing code that modifies the per-attribute header. The result is that backing files used and created from now on have a different format, and weird and unfortunate things will happen with backing files before this change. I doubt anyone is doing more than mild experimentation at this point, but I thought a heads up was in order. I hope not to change the format any further. I've been considering introducing a backing file header version number of some sort, but this is only necessary if we think the backing file format will change much more. Comments welcome.
