Its a bug that is releated to the name handling (dcache).

If you look in the psuedo code in xfs/linux/xfs_inodeops.c:xfs_installnode
you see how we install the name. The problem we have is that someware we
forget to remove the name, and then when its inserted again there this
SoftAssert complaining. Note that Unique has changed. Its a new file.

To main problem isn't roken by itself, its getarg. I'm sorry we cause you
pain for a no working klog. Are log patches working for all other programs
too (like vos/fs/pts) ?
