thanks.  I'm sure that's the case, but these oopsen are truncated.
well, one was slightly longer:

by way of straw-grasping, I'll mention two other very frequent messages
we're seeing on the MDS in question:

Lustre: 17673:0:(mdt_xattr.c:465:mdt_reint_setxattr()) covework-MDT0000: client miss to set OBD_MD_FLCTIME when setxattr system.posix_acl_access: [object [0x200031f84:0x1cad0:0x0]] [valid 68719476736]

(which seems to be https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-532 and a 
consequence of some of our very old clients.  but not MDS-crash-able.)

LustreError: 22970:0:(tgt_lastrcvd.c:813:tgt_last_rcvd_update()) covework-MDT0000: trying to overwrite bigger transno:on-disk: 197587694105, new: 197587694104 replay: 0. see LU-617.

perplexing because the MDS is 2.5.3 and 
https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-617 shows fixed circa 2.2.0/2.1.2.
(and our problem isn't with recovery afaikt.)

thanks!
