Theodore Ts'o d45edec0fb e2fsck: Handle a pass 2 "should never happen" error gracefully
Turns out a "should never happen" error can indeed happen very easily
if a directory with an htree index has an incorrect, and too-large,
i_size field.  This patch fixes this so that we handle this situation
gracefully, allowing filesystems with this error to be fixed.

In another patch I will clean up the specific problem which caused the
internal "should never happen" error from happening at all, but patch
will prevent e2fsck from crashing, and prompt the user to remove the
htree index, so it can be rebuilt again after pass 3.

Thanks to Bas van Schaik at Tetra for giving me access to his system
so this problem could be debugged.

README

	This is the new version (1.40.7) of the second extended file
system management programs.

	From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix
bugs and to make the utilities more robust.  You can always find
information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page,
which is:

	http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net

	The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing
e2fsprogs.  Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files
are supplied as well.

	In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at
tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu.  See the e2fsck man page for
suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug
reports for these programs.
