WARNING xfsdump [still] Cannot allocate memory for list of [root|non-root] attributes for nondir ino xxyz

FWIW -- that bug I mentioned a few weeks back that I thought was gone in 
the latest CVS
of xfsdump -- isn't.

It seems less frequent (maybe external attributes have been getting slow 
weeded out as
they fail -- if it is random).

What's 'unique' about this dump -- I just copied from one partition to 
another, to resize the first,
and this is on the copy back.

I.e. Stuff that xfs-restore just wrote has problems being read.

First problem was about 30 minutes into the 'copy'

Then about 2 more in the next half hour -- so not real often.

This is with kernel 2.6.34.

xfstools were downloaded a few weeks ago, so fairly recent.
