FWIW, such a problem was discussed on this list last year and resulted
in a kernel fix for ext3 and ext4, see
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=5e1f8c9e20a92743eefc9a82c2db835213905e26
The ext3 fix is in the lenny kernel.
I don't think I ever saw a fix for ext2.
