Public bug reported:

Release of Ubuntu:
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release:        8.04

Version of the package:
dosfstools:
  Installed: 2.11-2.3ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.11-2.3ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.11-2.3ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected:
~>sudo dosfsck /dev/sdb1
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
/dev/sdb1: 846 files, 449437/481366 clusters

~>sudo dosfsck -V /dev/sdb1

/dev/sdb1: 846 files, 449437/481366 clusters

~>sudo dosfsck -V /dev/sdb1
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Starting check/repair pass.
Starting verification pass.
/dev/sdb1: 1692 files, 449437/481366 clusters

I suspect it is counting the files on both the first and second passes,
without resetting the count, and that is why I am seeing a doubled
result (846 * 2 = 1692).

I can think of 3 possible fixes right now: 1) store the count in a
separate variable from the first pass, 2) keep track of the pass and
only count during one of them, 3) or clear the count to 0 when starting
the second pass.
