Oh they are quite surely softupdates related.

I got the "X still sorta works but anything that touches the disk wedges"
flu today on a very current current.  Triggered by a cc build on
(soft) linked filesystem, cured by reverting back a week or so.

And yes, it is quite certainly v. 1.47 and ata.

NBD..., if it was a real barrier to progress I'd disable softupdates.
