Subject: e2fsprogs-1.43 make check failures

When building e2fsprogs we normally ask users to run 'make check'. For
e2fsprogs-1.42.13 we had '153 tests succeeded, 0 tests failed', but for
version 1.43, we have '62 tests succeeded, 265 tests failed'.

Many of the failures look like:

$ cat f_lpffile.failed

In fact running:

[ /sources/e2fsprogs-1.43/build/tests ]$ grep ^+ *.failed|grep -v
1.43|grep -v @@|grep -v +++

gives no output. My conclusion is that all the tests actually pass, but
the expected results need to be updated in the release tarball.
