Thanks for the heads up Ted -

FWIW, the livecd creation process, which does a fair bit of offline
resizing (shrinking), was indeed seeing corruption, and these patches do
seem to resolve it.  (I will soon be recommending that the final livecd
image be fsck'd, as it gets subsequently dd'd to thousands of hard
drives during the livecd install process!)
