After exhaustive testing, and the loss of several hundred MB of data,
I can assure everyone that the FAT race fix in v2.1.14 doesn't work :-(
(this also affects VFAT of course)

To review for anxious readers, three different solutions have been
posted on linux-kernel for this problem:
#1 by Benjamin LaHaise - see linux-kernel-digest #635
#2 by Stephen Tweedie - see linux-kernel-digest #636
#3 by Stephen Tweedie - see linux-kernel-digest #638
Solution #2 seems to be incorporated into v2.1.14 now.

I'll try #3 now and report back after wringing it out a while.
