The stack trace pointed right to the line of code where it was crashing,
and it was easy enough to see that reading bad data from the journal
could lead to a bad memory access.  It's just a matter of determining
the best way to sanity check the data, and aborting the journal replay
cleanly.

I'm not sure exactly how the data got corrupted.  Maybe one of the last
writes before the hd shut down had errors.  I could only guess.

I have enough information to fix this bug.  Thanks for your help.
