Can't reproduce here...

I see one potential problem in there, but I would expect it to have the
opposite effect (I really don't believe that it's a ->d_count wraparound -
that would've taken much longer than a minute, if nothing else).

How reliably is it reproduced on your setup and does the following have
any impact, one way or another?
