Just as a sanity check I made an ext4 image on ppc with fast/long
symlinks, dirs, files of various sizes etc; e2fsck from next fails on ppc:

e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Error while reading over extent tree in inode 12: Corrupt extent header
Clear inode? no

Segmentation fault

but transporting the image to x86_64, e2fsck is fine.  So at least it
doesn't look like an on-disk problem.  :)
