The problem which we are currently trying to investigate was
reportedly introduced in v3.6.1. So far that's about how we know; we
have two users who have reported it, but I and other ext4 developers
haven't been able to reproduce it yet.

Got it.

Looks like you or some script renamed /etc/postfix to /etc/posfix.old
as part some upgrade?

Whoops-- sorry about that, typo, so for now (concerning the other bug) it's
best to stay with 3.6.0 until the bug is found, thank you.
