Subject: Segfaults--they're back!

Segfaults have returned with snapshots compiled after 070908--0010hrs GMT.

That one worked fine.

The next one I tried (070908/0025hrs GMT) caused segfaults in both Gentoo &
Slackware (a first for Slackware) when trying to untar
linux-2.6.26-rc9.tar.bz2 tarball)

I then rolled back two snapshots to 070908/0012hrs GMT) and it segfaulted
in both operating systems doing same untarring function.

So, apparently, since 0010snapshot
(ext4-patch-queue-bfb23cf4cd345552c774142cb10ac1225caf35f5.tar.gz) works fine

and 0012snapshot
(ext4-patch-queue-be66b0c5c3f4293176301c0ddcb8db95b0576cb4.tar.gz)
segfaults, the 
Add ext4-fix-mb_find_next_bit-return.patch must be the culprit.

Thanks,
Gary

P.S. The latest snapshot from today @ 0303hrs GMT segfaults as well.
