Good to hear Ed, many thanks.  Would you mind running one extra
set of tests?  I'm having problems with the system crashing/deadlocking
under high snapshot COW load.  10 concurrent writers onto the source
volume triggers it within 10-20 minutes.  I'm using stress.sh, 
but dbench should work too...I'm seeing this on pure rc4 (2.4.1[01],
and with my^zes).

Once this is worked out, I'll send everything in.
