Uwe, another user has run across a similar problem, and I think both of your 
issues are related.  Is there any feasible way for me to have at least a copy 
of the rev file (143)?  I'd be willing to sign an NDA.  I think there might 
be an issue in the FSFS code, and I'd love to get to the bottom of it. 

Alternately, I can provide you with a python script, and have you do a few 
things with a copy of the file for me.  The script will produce a large 
amount of output, but none of it contains the actual file contents.  Only 
file and directory names involved in the commit would be revealed.  It would 
take longer to inspect the situation, but it would still be very useful.

For information about the other user's issue, take a look at:

Thanks!

-John
