FYI, after I've lost a full day of work including the results of four
"iozone -a -g 4G" runs I tried to reproduce the problem on that
machine - the leftovers of the filesystem are pretty useless anyway.

It took about 2hrs to trigger the bug again. Same back trace.

Anything I can do what might help to decode the problem ?

Thanks,
