Two liner fix already in my pool.

Thanks for the report.

I had some troubles with the page cache support in the tests I ran in
the morning too. So don't worry about reporting the ext3 errors given
that they will report some corrupted stuff (like the bad entry in the
directory) that it's unlikely to be much useful to find out what are
actually the causes.

These errors are reproducible, aren't they? Is there anything you
usually do to reproduce them?

Thanks.
