Well of course. It was a bug in the write cache code (which I wrote btw so it was my fault) and as soon as I read the message I committed fixes to all branches and made the patch available. In addition, the write cache code is off by default. How could we have responded faster than that ? I still stand by the fact that a data corruption bug is addressed at the highest priority (as are security bugs). Jeremy.
