Sorry, I do not subscribe to hackers@ so I did not see that message. So what do
you recommend is done to further test it? I tested simple things like copies,
writes, deletes, etc on a memory disk, but nothing formal. I don't (currently)
have a spare blank disk or space on an existing disk to test on physical media,
but I can look into doing so once my development box is back up and running.

I'm also curious what about the changes you feel are dangerous, so I can target
the testing to exercise the boundary conditions or circumstances you think this
patch would elicit problems.

Thanks,
Josh
