After rerunning my test case a few times with exactly the same configuration I
was unable to reproduce neither a filesystem corruption nor a allocation
failure.
Your patch seems to fix the issue.

Sorry for the false negative!

BTW: This is my test case:
tar xvf linux-2.6.36-rc7.tar.bz2 && rm linux-2.6.36-rc7.tar.bz2 && tar cvf
linux-2.6.36-rc7.tar.bz2 linux-2.6.36-rc7/ && rm -rf linux-2.6.36-rc7/
Any big tar archive will do the job...

Thanks,
//richard
