Bug Description

After trying to resize a filesystem with resize2fs an error pops up, although
the filesystem was resized the error seemed to abort the procedure. The command
was done in slax 5.0.6 to be done on an ext3 partition hosting Ubuntu Breezy.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no

check aborted.

Description of problem:
Taking a 98176-blocks long ext3 filesystem formatted to hold the /boot
device of an FC3-re0915.1 install, after a clean fsck, and attempting
to resize it to 50M, causes glibc to print a double-free error message
and abort the resize. The filesystem may be corrupted after this, but
fsck can easily fix it. No file corruption was detected. Growing the
filesystem to the original size produces the same problem.

I've experienced this with the old /boot filesystem of an FC2 install
as well, so I don't think it's extremely sensitive to filesystem
contents. I haven't had the guts to try it on bigger filesystems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
e2fsprogs-1.35-9.5 glibc-2.3.3-53

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.umount /boot
2.dd if=/dev/holding/boot of=/tmp/boot.img
3.mount /boot
4.e2fsck -f /tmp/boot.img
5.resize2fs /tmp/boot.img 50M

Actual Results: resize2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Resizing the filesystem on /tmp/boot.img to 51200 (1k) blocks.
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x08218d68 ***
Aborted

Expected Results: It used to work

Additional info:

After resize2fs crashes, here's what I get:
