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.
