It doesn't touch buffer structure (uses only standard bread/brelse). There
was a problem that it sometimes didn't write inode and thus weird
things could happen. But it's now corrected. (It was corrected few
hours after releasing - only 2 people downloaded buggy version 1.91).
versions:
1.90b - quite stable, writes error messages about once in 2 weeks when
intensively used, but doesn't corrupt fs
1.91b - contain the bug. do not use.
1.92b - stable

Maybe there's really bug in linux - but who knows?
