Looks good to me.  I think the "at least one bug" is probably in the 
kernel rather than in fsck_lfs, but since the checkpoints come out clean 
you'll never see the problem except by rolling forward.

I'm thinking about just #ifdef-ing out pass 6 until that bug gets taken 
care of, since "fsck -p" doesn't actually *fix* the filesystem, it only 
brings it more up-to-date, and that only if you didn't unmount cleanly.

Take care,
