Subject: [PATCH] e2fsprogs - pass1c terminates early if hard links

Ted,

I think this is a small buglet in e2fsck:  if a file has multiple hard 
links, e2fsck pass1c search_dirent_proc() doesn't maintain its count 
properly and may return DIRENT_ABORT before it has found containing 
directories for all inodes sharing blocks.
