Hm, basically, I don't add any new files, especially with commas, etc.,
just kernel.org vanilla and linux-next.

things like this:

$ ll
ls: cannot access /ho: No such file or directory
total 12
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? /ho
drwxr-xr-x 3 ss ss 4096 Jan 23 08:44 ethernet
-rw-r--r-- 1 ss ss 3195 Jan 23 08:44 mii.ko.gz
drwxr-xr-x 2 ss ss 4096 Jan 23 08:44 usb

make me think that I'm facing a bit different kind of issues.

gonna bisect for a while. marked Sept 19th tree as good. the issue is not
100% reproducible, and 1 `ok build' doesn't mean anything. let's see if
this will fly.
