No, my other box which has a stock 2.4.16 kernel isn't affected by this
problem. However, I don't think that the XFS kernel is the issue, since
the original reporter was using a vanilla kernel. I haven't had another
segfault recently, but I'll continue to strace my apt-get runs - the
segv will show its face sooner or later ...
