Shouldn't this be "... + 2" instead?  Suppose old_opts is "foo", and
new_opts is "bar".  We need enough space for 8 characters: "foo,bar\0"

Also, can you do me a favor and rebase this patch series on top of the
most recent next branch of e2fsprogs.  The pass1b changes are going to
be impacted by the changes to support bigalloc which showed up in next
over the weekend.

Thanks!!
