Subject: [2.6.27] filesystem (ext3) corruption (access beyond end)

Hi,

With 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 a system of mine (a P4 with HT and IDE disk) gets
massive disk-corruption: in dmesg warnings for access beyond drive end.
Now this bug did not happen in 2.6.18 (debian kernel) and it seems to
be gone in 2.6.28-rc* as well.
My question now is: should it still be investigated?
