I just checked the source (CVS) tree, and something bad happend
between 1.27 and 1.29 on ufs_readwrite.c.  Unless other things
had been changed to make the problem go away, the recursive vnode
thing was broken then.  I am surprised that was changed that long
ago.  (The breakage is an example of someone making a change, and
not either understanding why the code was there, or forgetting to
put the alternative into the code.)
