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).
