Jose, running "make check" with these configure options resulted in a
failure:

'--enable-elf-shlibs' '--enable-blkid-debug' '--enable-testio-debug' '--enable-maintainer-mode' '--enable-blkid-devmapper' '--enable-jbd-debug'

Part of the problem was the test_io manager didn't have 64-bit
support.  I fixed that, and rebased your patch series, but it still
died with a seg fault in the test u_undoe2fs_mke2fs.  

Checking out the undo_io manager, it's obvious why; it doesn't yet
have 64-bit support.  I'm not sure how you missed this, if you were
running "make check" after each patch.  What version of e2fsprogs was
your patches based off of?
