Renaming the ntfs3g-2009.3.8.ebuild to ntfs3g-2009.4.4.ebuild works fine.
It is stable here on ~x86_64.

I can confirm that the above solution works.(In reply to comment #0)

This driver is extremely stable and dependable.

Could someone add the updated ebuild to the official portage tree? Would be nice. :)

Thanks in advance.
