Isn't there a possibility that the mac-side mkfs also has other bugs that
haven't been discovered? It's based on a version of newfs from before
the days of 0.9 I think and I know there have been a lot of changes to
newfs since then. I know I never pulled in any of the changes in newfs
when I started working on the mac-side mkfs years ago and I beleive I was
the last once to muck with that code.
