Well, we realsly should have fixes this as part of the merge. Merging
code that introduces regressions for the default config should not be
acceptable.

But it still breaks the v4 config. I have to say enabling the 32bit
projids on v4 filesystems by default as a side effect of the crc
changes sound worse and worse. The people who needed it already do on
v4 manually, and others will get it with the v5 rollout.

But if we want to stick to v4 + 32bit projid we should at least make
sure it does not break the tests.
