*nod*. I did notice that - it's what I based my previous "this is
what I think it causing the warning" email on. i.e. we're dirtying a
AGF/AGFL to update the freelist, then finding we don't have space in
the AG for the data allocation, then we ENOSPC and cancel a dirty
transaction.

I'm not going to back this change out right now, because it does fix
other, much easier to hit issues. I think it has probably uncovered
another "off-by-one" corner case in the "can we use the AG"
calculations, so when I get a chance I'll look through the code
and see what I can find. A faster reproducer would make that a lot
easier, so if you manage to find one, I woul dbe very helpful.

Cheers,

Dave.
