It's probably lying, and the number is actually lower.  I think double- and 
triply-indirect inodes "confuse" fsck into thinking a file is non-contiguous.  
Strictly speaking the file is non-contiguous, but not in a way that matters, 
and in they way a file would be written on disk even if it was empty.

So, I wouldn't worry about it.
