I cc'ed linux-fsdevel - we might have subsequently fixed this, perhaps
someone can recall...

2.6.38 is somewhat dated in kernel time - are you able to run something
more recent?

(If we did fix it, it's likely that the fix was backported into
2.6.38.8 or earlier.  It's unclear what kernel "2.6.38-10-generic" is
based on).
