[Ocfs-users] copy error + control file corruption in ocfs 1.10

[Bryce]

Ok well since the 5.2.0 stuff sucks,...
I've poked at the AS2.1 fileutils-4.1-10 kit again and rebuilt it with
the fix
NOW UNDERSTAND, I've not done a large amount of testing but it does seem
to cure the issue.

I've just pushed the kit to the oss server so it'll pick it up in a few
minutes as the following (it harvests any push I make every 15 minutes
or so)

binary:
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs/files/supported/RedHat/RHAS2.1/i386/fileutils-4.1-10.19.i386.rpm

src:
