hm, before writing that I had checked 1.0.4 progs and thought there
was another older fsck you could run that time, but I have just double 
checked it and have found that 1.0.4 version I looked into was changed 
a bit. You are right, 1.0.4 works with the old format. and if you run it 
again with --check, you get rid of the ERROR flag in the super block.
