Thanks for the suggestion, I was naively assuming that e2fsck wasn't
under active development. I've installed the statically linked 1.40.6
from Debian Lenny and it's running. However, it will take quite a long
time before it will actually hit the point where the old version found
problems.
I'll let you know what the results are!
