A recent version of the Opensolaris source bits contained a serious bug
that could cause corruption in ZFS pools under certain circumstances:

6526196 ZFS: assertion failed: zp->z_phys->zp_links > zp_is_dir

Specifically, this was a bug in the ZFS source file: dbuf.c.  The bug
has now been fixed, and the current opensolaris source contains this
fix.  But users who may have built opensolaris using source dating from
Feb 02 to Feb 24 should be wary.  Please check out the Heads-up message
at:

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2007022301/

Those running Solaris Express will not be impacted by this bug.  This
bug is *not* present in any current release of Solaris Express.
However, the next release of the Solaris Express Community Edition
(build 58) will be skipped in favor of build 59, which is already
being assembled by the Release Engineering team.
