Don't know what these do for your analysis, observed on
2.4.0test12pre2, compiling mozilla.

EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,11)):
ext2_readdir: bad entry in directory #409870: directory entry across blocks
- offset=88, inode=3284439128, rec_len=36952, name_len=196

EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,11)):
ext2_add_entry: bad entry in directory #344273: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0,
inode=1769234798, rec_len=28271, name_len=85

Recompiling it with 2.4.0test12pre3 last night did not cause any fs
problems, at least that I've noticed.
