This bug can render all your data instantly inaccessible at once, and it does it at powerdown so there's no way to recover before you restart, *and* you were using RAID so you thought you were safer.

Much more than most bugs, this one seems likely to give someone a horrible shock in the morning. Most crash bugs don't do that: you restart and you're OK.

We should expect no more from spender. He can't control himself. :P
