Oh, well; sorry about not being helpful, then.  A few more minutes
looking over the code haven't given me any more clues about the
situation.  This is the sort of place where synchronization problems
can happen in an SMP system, but the protections (locks) against that
appear perfectly adequate in my (somewhat superficial) check.

It probably *would* be best if you updated to -STABLE before reporting
this as a problem, though.

Be well.
