Do you mean the NetBSD version? :-)  It should never have had this bug,
since the bug is caused by semantic mismatch between BSD buffer handling
and vestiges of Linux buffer handling in the GPL'ed part (the Linux and
FreeBSD versions of ext2fs want to hang on to buffers for bitmaps, but
BSD wants buffers to be released as soon as possible).

I was waiting for the Lite2 merge, but that seems to have been done a
few months ago, at least in the NetBSD version.
