[Toralf FÃrster]

The following commit was bisected 2 times in a row to be the trigger(*) of the given back trace.
The core dump happens at a 32 bit user mode linux image (stable Gentoo) fuzzy tested with trinity.
It crashed often if 3 NFS shares heavily used by trinity were tried to be remounted.

(*) due to the erratic nature of the issue the used test case is not 100% reproducible.
Therefore although bisected 2 times in a row there's a chance that this commit is rather the upper limit instead of the 1st bad commit
