The qcopy routine of nami.c sets i_count to 250 if it exceeds
255. This ultimately causes the quota node to be deallocated at a
time when there are still valid pointers to it. A later attempt to
change the node will cause the first block pointer of some other inode
to be incremented or decremented. The fixes are:
diff kernel/sys/sys/nami.c.old kernel/sys/sys/nami.c
358,359d357
< if (++(qp->i_count) == 0)
< qp->i_count = 250;
diff kernel/include/sys/inode.h.old kernel/include/sys/inode.h
37c37
< char i_count; /* reference count */
---
> int i_count; /* reference count */
These changes should be made to all tapes written before 12/12/81.
