Good spotting; it turns out there was another problem later on, where the

	if (ret & BLOCK_ABORT)
		break;

does the wrong thing, since we need to break out of both the for loop
*and* the while loop.

I'll send a patch which I believe will fix BLOCK_ABORT in the block
iterator for the extent case.
