Current 2.6.34-rc1 squashfs is broken.

I have a large (500M) squashfs root filesystem, which is mounted from 
initramfs.
After mounting I can chroot into it.

With 2.6.34-rc1 seems that some directories are corrupted - e.g. /lib 
may have only files up to libnss (alphabetically), or that some binaries 
are not executing - because I see they are all NULLs on read, e.t.c. 
Basically - the root is not usable.
Replacing the fs/squashfs source dir with a 2.6.33's one fixes the 
problem - so it is the new code issue...
