Yep. I also can't recall seeing anything in recent patches which might
affect this, other than the quota changes (which do potentially affect
inode rundown, but I'd be very surprised if they made inodes
unreclaimable).

For what it's worth, my primary system here is now running 2.1.124 plus
mingo-raid, and it stays up all day under moderate load at times. There
has been no observed change in the behaviour here since the VM changes
around about 2.1.110.
