UNEXPECTED SOFTUPDATES INCONSISTENCY

Hi list,

I have had the above error 2 times now during fsck after an unclean 
shutdown. fsck -y yielded tons of entries in lost+found.
man (7) tuning says that softupdates guarantees filesystem consistency 
in case of crash, but thousands of lost files tell a different story.
Did i miss anything? Or should i disable softupdates for important data?

The system is running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2

Cheers,
	Heinrich
