The current state of it (tested against sshfs on 8-stable amd64) is:
- survives blogbench runs
- survives fsx runs with arguments "-W -R -L", i.e. no mmaped
operations, no file size / truncate operations
... without crashing. I cannot verify kernel memory corruption but I'm
running a heavy X desktop here and it survives.

Noted.
