I'm getting really close now.

Remember that I wrote last week that I could reproduce this on ext2, ext3,=
=20
xfs, and reiserfs? It turned out that on each of them -save ext3- the probl=
em=20
was due to that 'rapid dump' thing. If I insert a sleep 1 after the dump, t=
he=20
problem only persists on ext3. Now we also have the explanation why the=20
problem disappeared on Solaris after I inserted the sleep 1.

The idea occurred to me after noticing that I could not reproduce the ctime=
=20
problem on xfs.

Hence I filed that as an ext3 bug now on the Linux Bug Tracker.
