Subject: ext4 recovery, the saga of 16777215 continues

OK, so after updating e2fsprogs and doing a bunch of hacking around, I
was eventually able to find the inode that returns hundreds of MB of
16777215 in the multiply-claimed blocks pass.

Dumping it out with debugfs, the output file reached 28 GB before the
device receiving ran out of space. I thought inodes were of defined
size?
