various bsds have changed the superblock over time.  they are no
longer the same.  running fsck on a different filesystem is a good way
to break it.

Eeps! So even between the 3 Free/Net/OpenBSD's there are differences
in the superblocks eh?

Going thru the list archives[1] I found a thread where the user has a
similar problem. Though, in that case, the user was running
3.8-CURRENT and upgrading to a newer kernel solved the problem.
