Hi,

i found a serious bug in acl_set(2) which oopses my machine.  The bug is 
reproducible.  Any local account will do.

I tracked the problem down to a bug in ./fs/xfs/xfs_acl.c:xfs_set_acl() and 
applied a patch locally which seems to fix the problem.

Before releasing the mere facts of this bug i would like to have the problem 
fixed.

If there is someone from SGI interested in the bug (and the patch resp.), 
please email me.
