Heh, sorry, didn't intend to startle you :-) Hacking on filesystems is the best 
thing to do when you're angry :-)

Right, I'd love to get the ext4 into shape eventually, but for that -- after 
this series is accepted -- I'll have to go through that patch. I already managed 
to isolate the core difference that's present between ext2 code and their ext4 
patch, but integrating it will take a bit more time as I need to study it 
properly.
