The patch that fixes the problem is http://review.gluster.org/14822 and
I've merged it yesterday. The problem was introduced by
http://review.gluster.org/14822 (similar subject as 12835 above).
Unfortunately none of the libgfapi maintainer did completely review the
change before it got merged. It also seems that minimal testing was done
after the change got included (last minute change in 3.8, quickly
backported as well).

In order to make Gluster more stable, and prevent problems like this
again, we really need to work on automating test cases. I hope all
maintainers are thinking about how they want to test the components they
are responsible for. For example, I'm planning to run the upstream QEMU
tests against our nightly builds (libgfapi), and similar for the
connectathon tests (Gluster/NFS). At one point it should be possible to
wrap these in DiSTAF, but the DiSTAF job in the CentOS CI is not ready
yet.

Thanks,
Niels
