Damn, that's still in there? I ran into this problem about 18 months
ago, while trying to repair a disk that had a crashed head. This was
before I started using debian, BTW. I ended up using e2fsdb (or whatever
it's called) to add a couple of blocks to lost+found.

I'd have thought that that bug would have been fixed by now. Please
report this to the BTS, so that it can get fixed (by the upstream
maintainer, I'd assume).

I still have the crashed disk, so I could test this if necessary (I
copied the readable data to another disk before fsck'ing; amazing how
much data you can recover when one of the 15 heads is dead).
