hfs_brec_update_parent() may hit BUG_ON() if the first record of both a leaf node and its parent are changed, and if this forces the parent to be split. It is not possible for this to happen on a valid hfs filesystem because the index nodes have fixed length keys. For reasons I ignore, the hfs module does have support for a number of hfsplus features. A corrupt btree header may report variable length keys and trigger this BUG, so it's better to fix it.
