Could you please list the revisions and patches you have testing the
overflow fix?

2.5.x has many enhancements and many bugs.  I strongly recommend against
using it for any type of production work, since the development path
isn't stable.  By this I mean bug fixes might be mixed with other large
changes that break things.

Honestly I'm not sure.  I'm trying for a minimal data logging port to
get the journaling improvements in, even the -o data=3Djournal isn't
immediately supported.
