If I run the multi-threaded 'du' *without* flushing caches between, I don't
seem to trigger the problem (after ~250 iterations, whereas ~20 trigger it
otherwise)

The command I use that triggers the bug (/packages is about 17G of ordinary
software installs):

n=1; while [ $n -lt 128 ]; do sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; ./edu
/packages $n; n=$[$n+1]; done
