[svn-r4851] Purpose:
Bug Fix Description: When file space was returned to the file space free-list for reuse, occasionally raw data allocations which used space from the free-list would overlap with the metadata accumulator and get over-written with the cached information in the accumulator, corrupting the data. Solution: Check if the space about to be recycled on the free-list is going to be used for raw data and also overlaps with the metadata accumulator cache, avoiding using space that fits those criteria. This fixes bug #701 Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
