Jeremy was right, all occurences of the corruption status were
originally a NT_STATUS_NOT_FOUND. I've added a bunch of debug messages
but the xattr fetching code is called several times at different
locations (stat_cache, dosmode), I'm still trying to make sense of the
dense logs.

valgrind only detected the same invalid read a million times:

Invalid read of size 4

Doesn't seem to be related.
