There is some mythical group out there working on HFS+. I guess they
should be able to fix HFS, too. Where they are should be detectable fom
the list archives.

It has been broken since the introduction of the "new" page cache code
about a year ago in early 2.3.x. The official maintainer (A Sun of
netatalk fame) seems to be still alive, but nothing in terms of fixing
the code came from him for a year. Sometimes some changes show up in the
kernel trees, so that the code at least compiles, but it is still
broken.

I think it is pretty much a showstopper for LinuxPPC. The recommended
installations all use HFS partitions ("exchange" and now even "/boot")
mounted under Linux. None of them work under 2.3.x.
