Thanks, Tom and Christian.

Yup, it's definitely a bug and the fix will be in 0.9.6 (in fact the way
things are looking at present it'll be the only substantive change in
0.9.6).

If it's possible, could you please also test journalled data mode?

It'd be interesting to sanity test recovery as well, but doing
thorough testing of recovery is hard.  That's why the ext3 patch
places interesting debug/devel code way down inside the IDE device
driver...
