Comment 2 for bug 876881

I looked at LP#450214, and was very confused how it was decided there was a toolchain bug that was causing a problem with e2fsprogs (especially when the bug title talked about gparted hanging when formatting a swap partition).

In any case, I know there are folks at IBM testing e2fsprogs 1.42-WIP with PowerPC, but given that it's not clear to me what the original symptoms of the bug was at the e2fsprogs level were (as opposed to gparted hanging when formatting a swap partition), I can't even begin to investigate what the original bug might have been.
