I have been looking at the code for UMAPfs... I am trying to understand 
conceptually why it is so unstable...  It looks straightforward enough as
simply passing the calls it receives on to the FS below it, almost like it
didn't exist at all.  Why does this cause problems?  Isn't the only difference
between a UMAP/UNION FS and a "native" FS an additional stack frame in the
kernel?

(As I am starting to wrap up this FS adventure, I am looking to start another:)
