What OS and filesystem do you use? Apparently it doesn't like that I  
try to fsync() a read-only directory file descriptor. But then again I  
don't know if there's another alternative than to just not fsync() the  
directory.

Still shouldn't crash even if the fsync fails, I'll see about fixing  
that.

A workaround for now would be to se fsync_disable=yes
