I added the patch, rebuilt and rebooted.  It will take some time
before I'll report back since the issue is so hard to reproduce.
FWIW I could trigger it reliably by running a bunch of directory traversal
programs simultaneously on the same directory.  I have a script that fires
up multiple mutts pointing to the Maildirs for the high traffic Linux lists.
Hmm, I wonder if we should request that this patch be backported to
-stable.  Darrick, what do you think?
