...and what exactly is it doing?

Please see Gentoo bug #24991

tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/hda7

There has been a problem arising for some people when emerging perl.
Some people are suggesting the command above, assuming I understand
correctly translating the suggestion to my system where / is /dev/hda7.

Is this safe and sane? 

I guess it's turning off hashed b-trees for my whole disk? Is this the
right thing to do?

And should I turn it back on after doing the emerge? 

This all seems very dangerous to me.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
