I may have been too fast to blame LTP for my system crashes.  I had
another crash when not running LTP and where the filesystem became
read-only and now I think the machine has a hardware issue.  LTP may
have caused the problem to appear more frequently by stressing the
system but I don't think the underlying bug of the filesystem becoming
read-only was due to LTP.
