Note, fsck(8) in stable has a known bug that requires multiple passes in
order to completely cleanup the FS.  This bug appears to be fixed in
-current with a patch Terry Lambert submitted, but since I'm not FS guru
I won't vouch that I *completely* understand the fix.  That's the reason
it's in -current and not -stable, but if it's any consolation all of my
boxes are running with this patch on them. :)
