I am running your program now over an hour without any corruption on the
loopback mounted ext3 filesystem.

This is with the latest patch (1) from Theodore + latest small fix from
Christoper for the kernel and for latest e2fsprogs.

I made some debian packages available which includes the latest fixes, can be
found here (2).

Anyway, works great for me! :)
