>Description:
	
Heavy use of union file system produces a panic with the message: union: missing upper layer in write
>How-To-Repeat:
	
I have a large body of code (83M, the mozilla M5 snapshot) in a directory
mozilla-dist. mozilla is a directory for local modifications. The mount
command is mount -t union -o -b mozilla-dist mozilla.

cd to the mozilla directory. Then do

  find . -name \*.[ch] | xargs grep nsHTMLButtonFrame

(the grep string is unimportant).
