Will do thanks.

I'm using: 
mke2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
        Using EXT2FS Library version 1.40.8
(the one from debian unstable)
and format like this:
/sbin/mkfs.ext3 -E test_fs /dev/sdb

Just want to note (because of current vger problems) that Dmitri
confirmed the symptom (with fsstress+fallocate patch) and offered an
analysis.
