Seems the bug doesn't trigger always. The first invocation of the testcase on a
fresh created ext4 succeeds but the second one and any other run fails.
This is what I've done (the mkfs.ext4 output is in german but should be
uninteresting):

alexander@...ak:~$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mke2fs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
Dateisystem-Label=
OS-Typ: Linux
Blockgröße=4096 (log=2)
Fragmentgröße=4096 (log=2)
Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks
1876800 Inodes, 7506363 Blöcke
375318 Blöcke (5.00%) reserviert für den Superuser
Erster Datenblock=0
Maximale Dateisystem-Blöcke=4294967296
230 Blockgruppen
32768 Blöcke pro Gruppe, 32768 Fragmente pro Gruppe
8160 Inodes pro Gruppe
Superblock-Sicherungskopien gespeichert in den Blöcken: 
    32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 
    4096000

Schreibe Inode-Tabellen: erledigt                        
Erstelle Journal (32768 Blöcke): erledigt
Schreibe Superblöcke und Dateisystem-Accountinginformationen: erledigt

Das Dateisystem wird automatisch nach jeweils 32 Einhäng-Vorgängen bzw.
alle 180 Tage überprüft, je nachdem, was zuerst eintritt. Veränderbar mit
tune2fs -c oder -t .
alexander@...ak:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
alexander@...ak:~$ sudo ./aio_corrupt /mnt/test
Success!
alexander@...ak:~$ sudo ./aio_corrupt /mnt/test2
Corrupted buffer!

This is with the standard Ubuntu 2.6.32 kernel.
