Filesystem wedges caused by r251446

[Ian FREISLICH]

Hi

I've been experiencing process wedges writing files.  It occurs
reliably under "heavy" IO activity, perhaps with large files but
I'm not entirely sure what the trigger is.  The symptom is that
during an installworld, it reliably hangs the install process on
/usr/bin/clang (sometimes it hangs earlier at the mtree on /usr)

The problem leaves the filesystem in a state where it cannot be
cleanly unmounted.  A binary search pins the offending commit on
r251446.

The major differences between the working system and the broken one
are, CPU, RAM and arch (i386/amd64) they are otherwise identical
Dell R200 servers.

Working:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E4600  @ 2.40GHz (2400.14-MHz 686-class CPU)
RAM:	2G
Arch:	i386

Broken:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E7300  @ 2.66GHz (2666.82-MHz K8-class CPU)
RAM: 	4G
Arch:	amd64

The compiler, gcc, clang (trunk or release) has no effect.
