Such a mess.  :(

I need to get 1202024 resolved, ted checked in a version of a patch
I proposed to try to resolve some of this.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/commit/?id=f096708126412c0569e40cfbd5740729976bf12a

I'll get that pushed to testing tonight, sorry for being slow with it.
