I dunno, it's been running on my test VMs for 160 minutes (same debug
setup as yesterday) and 100 minutes (regular g/522, no -C/-I flags to
fsx, no debugging junk) and neither have reported corruptions.

$ grep Dirty /proc/meminfo
Dirty:               100 kB

So, pretty good for writing code at 6am while on holiday.  I'll let this
run overnight, but I think you've fixed the problem, at least for me...
