   Well, it happens on a NetBSD newfs'd file system too for me. I am beginning
   to suspect that my really old gcc-2.2.2 is generating bad code somewhere,
   since NetBSD-current libc built but has some weird problems too.

Releases of GCC prior to 2.4.5 are unreliable for 64-bit arithmetic.
2.4.5 had a few obscure problems itself, but I've fixed those in our
source tree.
