Sure, I'm willing (backed up my workstation completely, of course). I
first rebuilt 2.4.19 with your new patch applied on a ext3 fs with
dir_index disabled, built your new e2fsprogs WIP packages, and installed
them. Installed the new kernel. Turned on dir_index, and rebooted into
the new kernel.

Good news: I haven't been able to replicate any of the corruption I was
seeing earlier with Galeon 1.2.6 and Mozilla 1.1 from Debian's unstable
branch. This corruption would occur pretty randomly but almost
immediately after starting Galeon, and it'd show up immediately in my
xconsole (I use xdm) in the form of some nasty EXT3 errors (as I noted
earlier).

I'll bang away with dump and bonnie[++] and see if I can make it spew.
;-)

Thanks again!
