I downloaded the patch around 10/15, from this URL:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/patches/2.4.22
which seems to indicate that even on that date, there was a patch 
available for 2.4.22 (maybe I looked where I should not).  Today 
(11/28), I can't even find a patch for 2.4.21 (at least not by moving up 
to the parent dir ...patches/).

Some other people seem to have confirmed in the meantime that the 
problem shown by bonnie on 2.4.22 + 1.3.1 is a real one.

I have some time now to either roll back to 2.4.21 if that is known to 
fix the problem, OR to rebuild a 2.4.22 kenel, given that the "all" 
patch file has changed in size and is now timestamped 11/10.  I'd 
appreciate it very much if a XFS developer can confirm what has happened 
to this bug and if the 11/10 patch fixes it.  Thanks.
