Hmm... I just tried recompiling fio to git commit version
aeb32dfccbd05, and it's blowing up with a seg fault as well.

One thing about my test environment is that I'm building xfstests and
fio on a 32-bit x86 environemnt (because that way I can use an 32-bit
kernel, and because when I use a 64-bit kernel I stress test the
64-bit compatibility code paths).  Perhaps this has something to do
with it?

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to debug this, so at least for
now I'm going to exclude generic/299 from my automated test runs.
