Subject:  [PATCH] e2fsck/e2fsprogs: use sscanf() instead of atoi() in the option parser

[resent since the first mail doesn't seem to make it to this list]

Hi,

using atoi() should be avoided in the option parser since it doesn't check
for errors. I almost destroyed an important filesystem since I
specified "e2fsck -C -n" and -n was parsed as option to -C

Cheers,
Bernd
