Yea, I haven't rebooted in a while...  Might be time soon.  Here is a copy of an email I sent to the ext3 mailing list:

e2fsprogs-1.42.5-1.fc18.x86_64  Yes, it's fixed in e2fsprogs
1.42.7.  And if you're using 64-bit file systems, you really really want
to upgrade to 1.42.7 --- especially if you are ever thinking of using
resize2fs; we fixed a number of very serious bugs, some of which could
destroy file systems if you try to do off-line resizes.  See the release
notes for more details:  http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.42.7
