Nah, not lame.  To be honest, I've lost track of which resize2fs
bugs are fixed and which are not; some have been sent to the list,
some have not been fixed, and the e2fsprogs git tree hasn't been updated
for over 2 months.  So I'm really not sure where things stand right now.  :(

In any case, I don't _think_ that this particular bug is yet fixed.
