OK, good.  I think I know what it may be: under VM pressure, ext3 can
be called recursively (that's fine, we deal with that), but it doesn't
account for growing transactions when that happens.

2.4+ext3 should be fine here, but I'll need to fix 2.2 (in fact, my
current 0.7b tree may already have fixed it in a different way).  How
exactly do you reproduce this (what software), and what is your setup
(memory etc)?

Thanks,
 Stephen
