Hmm... you're seeing out of memory condition.  If the code screws up
filesystem access, I suppose it could make that happen too but can you
please check the configuration just in case (especially the memory
size)?  Also, if you can reliably reproduce the filesystem corruption
w/o the patch, can you please tell me how to do it?

Thanks.
