nope :)

Yeah, it's rather inscrutable.

Right, that was the whole point of the inscrutable mess above :(

Thanks; I am actually just now testing my own patch, I wasn't sure if
you were around and I wanted to get this fixed.  :)

Mine is more invasive, with all of the full-on inscrutable redirection
mess every other bitmap function uses ;)  But maybe that's not necessary
for this new function, since there will be no old users of it.

We probably need a way to test at least every binary in e2fsprogs
with the 64-bit flags off, to be sure that old apps won't break.

For now I just edited every util which set the 64 bit flag and turned
that off, and ran make check.

I may send my patch as well, and see what Ted thinks is the best
fit for the current code layout... yours is simpler, and without
any API concerns/constraints, it may be better.

Thanks,
