fsck.hfs segfaults if partition < 32 MB

[michael]

To reproduce the error.
1) create an hfs partition < 32MB, I was using gparted .10 to do this but it shouldn't matter as long as the size is below this threshold.
2) run fsck.hfs -f -y <partition path> . where <partition path> is the path to the partition.
segfaults every time

I rebuilt hfsprogs from source with debug information and ran gdb to get a back-trace the output is attached.

hcreate is the application responsible for actually creating the hfs file system. Do to a bug in this program file systems that an even power of two in size are created damaged. So this may be case of a missing error check.

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz (glaubitz)]

hfsprogs has been updated to 540.1.linux3-1 and is now available in the development version of Ubuntu.

Please see if that fixes your problem.
