The morning after the second of the two files involved was created, FreeBSD booted OK and worked for a few hours, then I booted to Linux just to check something (no /home access at all) and no complaints. It was immediately after that while booting FreeBSD for the 2nd time that I got the message, so I went back to Linux which also picked it up and attempted to fsck. The only recent "crash" I had was with netscape once, and then I didn't even have to kill X, just the shell that started it. I am running 3.4-STABLE and both files with the duplicate blocks were created from FreeBSD. A friend of mine with a similar configuration also mentioned having similar problems.
