I was just wondering, could this be the same bug Daniel Phillips described
in thread "[PATCH] Re: 2.4.0-test11 ext2 fs corruption":

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=2.4.0-test11+ext2+fs+corruption+group:mlist.linux.kernel&hl=en&safe=off&scoring=r&rnum=1&selm=linux.kernel.news2mail-3A259959.89EAD4DE%40innominate.de

and that was fixed in 2.4.0-test time?

A google search shows a number of people are seeing this error so it would be
nice to get the fix for 2.2 (and even 2.0), too...
