    Amazing - I missed (unintentionally it was 1am!) an important detail - it
    always hits in the same place because I always re-mke2fs the filesystem I
    was extracting the tape onto but you spotted that it is ext2-related
    anyway.

    Now, in 2.4.0-test6-pre5 it doesn't lockup anymore but your patch doesn't
    apply either (assuming because a slightly different incarnation thereof is
    already there).

    Thank you for fixing this!
