Subject: [BUG] NULL pointer dereference with corrupted image

hi,

mounting the image at http://www.cccmz.de/~snakebyte/ext4.56.img.bz2
listing the directories and touching a files produces a null pointer
dereference with -rc3 (verified with -rc2 and current -git). I tested
this on different boxes with the same result

root@...terabbit:~/testing/fsfuzzer-0.6-lmh# mount -o loop
cfs/ext4.56.img -t ext4dev /media/test/
root@...terabbit:~/testing/fsfuzzer-0.6-lmh# ls /media/test 
lost+found
root@...terabbit:~/testing/fsfuzzer-0.6-lmh# touch /media/test/file
Killed

If the ls is
