Yeah, sorry, I didn't have network access when I looked at your
e-mail, and so I didn't see the stack trace until you pointed at the
mail message again.  Because you mentioned a USB stick, I assumed it
was the problem with a USB stick getting pulled or being loose causing
an I/O error leading to an oops problem, and I missed the hint of the
problem occurring in the ext3 code when you were using an ext2
formattem.  Fortunately when Geert reported the bug a second time, I
was less dense at the time, and figured it out quickly.  :-)
