No, I think that assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata() was more
than a once off, whatever that is. There is probably something wrong in
there, but from a moderate-sized look I cannot see what it is.

Unless inspiration strikes we will need to wait until someone can hit it
with some sort of repeatability and then run with the ext3-debug patch
applied and enabled.

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.73/ext3-debug.patch

This will give a trace of what happened to that buffer and should allow me
to fix the bug.
