    There was some instability a few days ago, which was fixed in
    commit 60H on the evening of July 7th.  If your kernel is older then
    that you may have to update and newfs_hammer, then re-test.
Ah great. Right now, I've /home/dcvs and /usr/src on hammer, so it's
unwise to newfs_hammer :). But I will try later.
Thanks a lot!
