 Hmm.. nope; I've been persuing missing splbio()s and what-not; [not
too successfully I might add.]

 What makes you consider this a possibility - just for my own edification.
I wouldn't have thought that came into play on a newfs'd file system...
Are you suggesting the cache lookup is returning the wrong vnode somewhere?

 And, apparently this can all be disable (in the 2.1.6.1 sources)
by setting "doingcache" to 0.. is that what you're thinking of?
