I'd rather avoid a flag. User-visible complexity has a cost, and we're better 
off keeping things simple.

Is there some easy way to tell whether we're on a file system like procfs that 
has the bug?  Perhaps we can have a list of known good file systems.  But this 
is lower priority than getting the bug fixed.
