I think I've found a bug in fsck. Some invalid values in cylinder groups
don't get fixed.

From pass5.c:

                if (cg->cg_rotor < newcg->cg_ndblk)
                        newcg->cg_rotor = cg->cg_rotor;
                else
                        newcg->cg_rotor = 0;
                if (cg->cg_frotor < newcg->cg_ndblk)
                        newcg->cg_frotor = cg->cg_frotor;
                else
                        newcg->cg_frotor = 0;
                if (cg->cg_irotor < newcg->cg_niblk)
                        newcg->cg_irotor = cg->cg_irotor;
                else
                        newcg->cg_irotor = 0;


All those values in the cg's are int32_t's. (signed). Somehow I ended up
with 5 cyl groups that have "irotor" to some random negative value. fsck
doesn't see a problem with them, but I get a panic when a create gets
called:

Here's the cyl group:

$2 = {cg_firstfield = 0, cg_magic = 590421, cg_time = 1009434417, cg_cgx = 9165, cg_ncyl = 16, cg_niblk = 4032, cg_ndblk = 32768, cg_cs = {
    cs_ndir = 60, cs_nbfree = 2740, cs_nifree = 1987, cs_nffree = 679}, cg_rotor = 1288, cg_frotor = 5112, cg_irotor = -2036988557, 
  cg_frsum = {0, 80, 153, 45, 14, 5, 7, 5}, cg_btotoff = 168, cg_boff = 232, cg_iusedoff = 264, cg_freeoff = 768, cg_nextfreeoff = 5436, 
  cg_clustersumoff = 4860, cg_clusteroff = 4924, cg_nclusterblks = 4096, cg_sparecon = {0 <repeats 13 times>}, cg_space = "\016"}


Notice cg_irotor is completely out of whack, but fsck thinks the FS is
clean.

I wrote a patch that made fsck detect this, but... why are these signed
values anyway, other than historical reasons?
