There is one unreported issue.

There is an instability in it that sometimes causes a recoverable segfault
ie no kernel panic. I have been trying to track it down but it is
intermittent. It seems to be when creating/writing a file (no surprises
there). One occasion that I find it more usually is when creating a link
(softlink) to a file that doesn't (yet) exist. The link is created as
evidenced by a reboot. I assume that this is due to an in-memory object that
points nowhere or something. Sorry but I have had no time to do any digging.
