We do care. Bill Hawes has had a patch out for this for ages, and at
least one part of the problem should now be fixed in 2.1.113. Can you
still reproduce the problem on later 2.1 kernels?

Bill, do you no longer believe that we need a possible retry mechanism
in swapoff if we find the map count wrong the first time through?
