I have problems reproducing this bug. I have to try really hard make it
show up even once in a while. From what I have seen in /sys/kern/vfs_subr.c
this must be either a generic bug (but I can't see the problem) or a problem
with our interrupt system.

It would be great, if you could send one to the build lab. There is a pc532,
but it's got only a ppp connection.
