I just started this test, I'll let you know in 5 days.  :-/

Any other things I should try, anyone?  I'm doing the new tests under
qemu, so it's easy to run lots of tests in parallel.  The previous
reports of this bug all occurred when running natively.

I'm doing the new tests with 2.6.18, but the behavior does not seem
sensitive to the kernel version.
