Seems to be failing to open the journal.  Do you use an external 
journal?  If so, what device is it on?

Found a bug.  not checking the return code of findLog() properly. 
Fixing this will result in jfs_fsck failing cleanly rather than a 
segfault, but probably won't get you any further.

I'm guessing that the filesystem is still clean, and the rw mount is 
failing for the same reason as jfs_fsck.  It doesn't find the journal.

If you're using an external journal, then it may be a configuration 
error and the kernel isn't configuring the journal device.  If not, then 
I'll have to dig deeper.
