It was reported to me, but I was not able to reproduce this yet.  If I
can get a bigger harddisk I will try to fix this bug.

A few 100MBs.

Yes, but not a specific one.  For example there were some bugs in some
misc.c functions which are used by the filesystems.  They relied on
broken behavior so there might be some bugs in the other (non-ext2)
filesystems.  I should do some extensive testing.
