Well I pretty much think that it was the same resize bug, but then it might as
well have been the BIOS thing (although I doubt it).

FWIW it was one machine, that ThinkPad T42, but different fsck.ext4 runs. When
the fsck.ext4 ran till the out of memory error the filesystem was unmountable
afterwards. When I quitted it before I was able to mount it.

Sorry for not using LANG=C with fsck.ext4, but at that time all I wanted is to
have my data back - nothing else mattered.

Anyway should I face an issue like that again, I will open a reparate bug
report and only hint that it might be the same problem as some other bug. I
also try to remember to use LANG=C.

So leave closed - I believe I hit that resize bug and all is well again.
