Something very bad has allegedly been happening in -mm. It would have been
nice to have heard about this problem in that multi-month wwindow there.
Does no human look at these numbers?

The 2.6.15-git5 -> 2.6.15-git6 diff is enormous. I'd assume some bad thing
got transferred into mainline then.

How does one reproduce this? Which type of filesystem, which command
line/config file?

Thanks.
