Im seeing an extremely weird problem with 2.1.90 that is fooling some of
my programs. Files that are being appended to go backwards in size
at random when stat()ed by another program. The easiest general way to see
this is to ftp a file to an nfs partition and run ls -l at it. eg

[alan@roadrunner anarchy]$ ls -l pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 alan users 179580 Mar 15 00:12 pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz
[alan@roadrunner anarchy]$ ls -l pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 alan users 176128 Mar 15 00:12 pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz
[alan@roadrunner anarchy]$ ls -l pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 alan users 185420 Mar 15 00:12 pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz
[alan@roadrunner anarchy]$ ls -l pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 alan users 184320 Mar 15 00:12 pre-patch-2.1.90-3.gz

Does someone perhaps have a caching funny ?
