I've managed to trigger it twice in about 5 or 6 full runs of
"./kvm-xfstests -g auto".  Once it was with generic/233 in 1k block
file system mode, the second time it was generic/233 in ext3 compat
mode.  i've tried running just generic/233, and it doesn't trigger.
"i.e., "./kvm-xfstests -C 10 generic/233" didn't trigger the bug.

(I'm currently on vacation, so I've been kicking off the run each
morning or evening and then checking to see if it blew up or not.)

Cheers,
