OK, this is a bug in the way the Redhat 7.1 kernel rpms
were integrated with the XFS code.  Here is a patch which
will fix it - Eric has tested this for me & it works.

It _only_ affects the kernel rpms with Redhat 7.1 changes
- the base 2.4.2 patches, cvs trees, etc. are not affected
and _do not_ need the patch..
