So in the testing we have done so far we know that Oneiric images are

At last! I'm able to reproduce the bug now. It only happens when the
host is running oneiric kernel (running 2.6.38-13.52-generic now). I was
never able to reproduce it with running the lucid or precise kernel on

It seems it's a lot more likely to trigger if the guest is i386. I ran

I reproduced it again, this time it's some humanity SVG. In both cases
it failed in close(), but we also have reports where it fails in

So it's not happening for a particular file only, or a weird file type.
