This bit isn't bad typing - it's bad printf formatting. The actual bad
typing is going to be harder to track down. A quick look showed me some
signed block count variables in the debugreiserfs code but the fsck code
may be better off. I'll dig into it.

Since you're trying to reproduce, it would be great if you capture the
core dump that should happen when you seg fault. Exact output would be
useful as well.
