Well, I've run badblocks in 2.4.16
results:

root@diego:~# badblocks -n -vv /dev/hdc5
Initializing random test data
Checking for bad blocks in non-destructive read-write mode
Checking for bad blocks (non-destructive read-write test): done
Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found.
root@diego:~#

So under 2.4.17-rc1 Diego gets the '...access beyond end of device' and
with 2.4.16 he doesn't.

For some reason the badblocks program under 2.4.16 ends at block
9671067, while the 2.4.17-rc1 test tries to go beyond that for some
reason.

Diego, what happens when you run the fsk/try to access /etc/mtab (and
the like) under 2.4.16?
