Hi Lloyd,

Thank you for getting that!

I see in ffs_read, there are some diagnostic lines, seems like I could
rebuild the kernel with that.

I am hoping I have time to enable diagnostics and try this in a VM.
Might be easier to capture a good stacktrace?

Getting pretty close to a release window and it'd be nice to have this
fixed.
