Hi Clemens, all,

Uh, well, I did not want to go that far ;)  I'm certainly not the
greatest programmer around, but not freeing allocated memory seems kind
of drastic.

Anyway, I checked out a copy of btrfs-progs from git and took a look at
the code.  Then I remembered valgrind and instead of running btrfs
restore on the broken machine I tried it on my images (saved with dd on
an external hard drive).  Running the self-compiled program using sudo
resulted in the same errors.

Now the (at least for me) fun part.  Running it under my UID I managed
to retrieve 13GB worth of data so far before hitting the same error:

  Error in `./btrfs': free(): invalid next size (normal)

I would be glad for someone's opinion on this.

Regards!
