Currently looking, after Michael Müller suggested it. However first order of business was fixing the build problems (which have a ticket in the bug tracker for 6 years, now). And for the past weeks I've been duct-taping over all the bugs and crashes. I've got it so far that it dumps out a lot of directories and files. However lots of these files seem to be directories that have been malidentified as regular files. And so far nothing solid that isn't total binary garbage (interestingly enough, _consistent_ binary garbage, like directory inodes misidentified as regular files show the same binary patters, although at different offsets). Truth to be told the code quality is horrible, and it clearly shows that the authors' understanding of C and C++ are superficial at best (for example it makes absolutely no sense at all to pass const integers by reference) and elementary tests and protections that are mandatory when working on untrusted / damaged data are completely missing. As far as I progressed, the JFS image I'm trying to recover here is one big fuzzing test data set washing up all the dirty stuff. I'll keep duct-taping around all crashes until I get it to finish without crashing and only then will make an assessment of how well it worked.
