ARGHHH!!
Florian never forwarded these over (he left them assigned to himself) and I
see the current errata is only for
e2fsprogs-1.26-1.72

that nothing has been done to rectify the previous bug reports

    * Tue Feb 26 2002 Florian La Roche <Florian.LaRoche@redhat.de>
    - feature errata release for Red Hat Linux 7.2
    * Tue Feb 19 2002 Florian La Roche <Florian.LaRoche@redhat.de>
    - update to 1.26
