HADOOP-3724 reopened

Namenode was running release hadoop-2008-06-26_11-02-19 on one of our test clusters
and could not restart because of same exception as reported in HADOOP-3724.

I list it below again.

Because of comments made in HADOOP-3724 we upgraded to hadoop-2008-07-17_12-21-22 and tried again – still same exception.
We then deleted the edits.new file and restarted. This helped, but, of course, we lost files and history.

Till this is fixed, I would be scared to use 0.18.x in production.
