Unfortunately this is a specific issue which a patch and email I just
sent out fixes. Andrea Arcangeli has a fix for this problem in that
series, so I got a 2.4.17-RC2aa2 and patch worked a 2.4.17-xfs kernel
into shape. Now I need some people to test and fix. If someone could do
that I'd really really appreciate the help. I've been working with it
all night. I'll be up as long as it takes. to fix this thing.
