Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12p-4sarge1
Severity: normal

When attempting to run fsck.cramfs on a sarge machine against the initrd
in the debian installer I run into the following problem:

rat:~# wget 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-ia64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/ia64/2.6/initrd.gz
rat:~# gzip -d initrd.gz
rat:~# fsck.cramfs initrd
initrd: error -3 while decompressing! 0x6000000000006bb7(8683)


I was also able to reproduce this problem with the following sequence:

rat:~# mkdir tmp; dd if=/dev/urandom of=tmp/file1 count=64; mkfs.cramfs tmp 
tmp.cramfs
64+0 records in
64+0 records out
32768 bytes transferred in 0.009406 seconds (3483701 bytes/sec)
rat:~# fsck.cramfs tmp.cramfs
tmp.cramfs: error -3 while decompressing! 0x6000000000004d38(16395)


I should also note that I tried fsck.cramfs against the sarge d-i initrd
under rhel4u2 and received:

fsck.cramfs: Segmentation fault
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -q util-linux
