It appears to be the original code, which calls 'cmn_err()'. I would like to note, and my main reason for posting here again is to say: the patch I describe below is actually a diagnostic patch not a fix. I used to think I was pretty good with C code but that was decades ago. This was really a sort of silly mistake I made. Meanwhile I combed through the source rpm stuff myself and I did not think xfs_iget was ever patched. However, by looking at the patches, the file xfs_iget.c from SGI is not the same as in the implementation in RH/FC and I never felt sure. Your method of looking for any patch at all seems to make sense. I conclude, with your help, that this bug is not fixed.
